Critics Consensus

Some horror fans and '80s enthusiasts may answer The Call, although a lack of genuine scares and an overload of genre tropes will leave most struggling to maintain the connection.

2/5

A fairly shonky assemblage of tired tropes, full of dropped connections and annoying static.

The Call is verdant, inventive, sophisticated storytelling that leaves you buzzing...

The Call is far more interested in its visuals than telling a coherent and compelling story.

6/10

A curate's egg that, while entertaining in fits and starts, never comes together as a whole.

3/5

An entertaining ride for horror fans which benefits from great production design, The Call uses its clichés for a purpose and has fun along the way.

C

A highly derivative horror movie lifted from utter mediocrity by a couple of veteran genre stars and some eye-catching nightmare sequences.

Soooooo bad. I fought the urge to walk out. Bad horror films are being released during Covid-19 and this was one of them. I was the only one in the theatre.

It was a satisfying horror movie. Very suspenseful and great affects. The acting was better than most lately also. Could've had a stronger plot with the individual characters' stories, but overall a good movie!

It was okay, couple jump scares. Wasn’t bad though just kinda boring.

Pretty good movie but can very easily tell it was impacted by COVID-19. Kind of predictable storyline but still a good movie with Tobin Bell.

I couldn't catch my movie and you wouldn't refund me my money. That's bad business had a family emergency now I'm out of 20 bucks. Then it's no way to get in contact with anybody if you have a issue that needs resolved
