A successful writer and media personality, takes his wife and their adopted Zulu daughter to an abandoned hotel in The Transkei, located in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, to finish his much-anticipated follow up novel. Once there, strange things begin to occur inside the hotel. The family soon learns that the hotel has a dark past in which many murders were carried out since it opened in 1808, including rumors that the land is cursed due to being stolen from its native people. Meanwhile, in a city nearby, a high school teacher is experiencing strange visions and dreams, as "something" seems to be calling her back to the same hotel for some unfinished business. Through a sequence of events, the teacher and the family find themselves confronting a mythical creature that haunts people as they sleep and even possesses some -- a creature known as the Tokoloshe.

Evan Dossey Midwest Film Journal Incoherent and frustrating. Sep 11, 2021 Full Review Alejandro Turdó Hoy Sale Cine The thing about Tokoloshe: The Calling is that there is clearly potential story wise, with some interesting ideas tossed around. But the execution is not always up to the challenge. Rated: 5/10 Sep 7, 2021 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com Passion isn't enough. Films should have structure and this one is a random collection of scenes that aren't scary or worth remembering. Rated: 1/5 Sep 6, 2021 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat While some scenes last a little too long and are jumbled, the film is creepy and engaging, and Green's love of the genre is apparent from the jump. Rated: 7/10 Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
