      People are scarier than ghosts~

      Compared with "The Ghost Has Called", the fear in "The Caller" is completely artificial. The film tells the story of the heroine who works part-time as a nanny in a certain family. She always receives a silent phone call one night, and the end of the silent phone is a "killer". At this time, the "killer" has entered the house. And monitor the heroine in the dark. In the end, the heroine fought the bad guys with her bravery and wisdom, and successfully notified the police to arrest her. The...

      Fear gives you nowhere to run

      This film is said to be a remake of a classic film in the 1970s. Although it is old-fashioned, after all, it has the bottom of the original, and it will not be too bad. The shadows of the trees and the dim lights are not a romantic plot, but the horror element of the film. Add to that the harsh phone ringing that suddenly rang in the silence, and the heavy breathing on the other end of the phone. Unlike "Midnight Bell", which has a terrifying image of Sadako, it can be seen that this is a film...

      A lot of people don't understand

      The first thing to declare is that this movie is not a horror movie in the traditional sense. So please don't anyone call this movie a bad horror movie without understanding
      if you are watching this movie for ghosts or gore Then I advise you to forget it, because you will definitely be disappointed, and the scary part of this film is not here.
      As far as the script is concerned, this film is a remake of the 1979 classic of the same name, so its plot should not have It's a big problem,...

      That terrifying look

      I've fallen in love with horror movies lately.
      Last night, the whole family watched "The Fright of Calls", and I fell asleep unprofessional...
      About this movie, my sister said it more pertinently: "The foreplay is really too long!"
      All of us are very envious It's the mansion in the movie with a remote-controlled fireplace with a huge garden flowing in the atrium and a lake facing it.
      The films are all routines, not scary at all.
      Mediocre work on the Hollywood assembly...

      How can it be called a horror movie

      If this is a horror movie, then Transformers is not suitable for children. It will only be a gimmick. There are still so many idiots like me who have been tricked into the cinema. I would have watched Garfield if I knew it, although the evaluation was not good. But it's still cute anyway.
      A villa that's too luxurious, beautiful, and advanced, a timid babysitter, and a boring killer who doesn't even have a motive for killing people but loves to be scary, so it's a horror movie. What I...

    Movie plot

    In a remote villa off the beaten track, high school student Jill worked as a part-time nanny as usual. The child fell asleep in the house. Jill closed the doors and windows and turned on the anti-theft system to enjoy the beautiful house. At this moment, the harsh telephone ringing rang. As soon as Jill answered the call, a strange voice said viciously "Go and see the child". Jill was startled and ran to the nursery and found that the...

    Evaluation action

    Although the plot and concept are not very innovative, the film’s beauty lies in the detail processing and layered paving. The director simply used all the textbook-like small skills and shooting methods of horror films in one breath. Does not rely on the special effects of the big scene, does not use bloody shots that exceed normal visual habits, does not have a complicated storyline, refuses to stimulate and challenge the nerves of...

    Movie quotes

    • Jill Johnson: Where is he?

      Officer Burroughs: We got him. He's in that police car right over there. In ankle cuffs, handcuffs. Enough sedatives to kill a horse. We're gonna take him to the hospital. We'll have four cops guarding him around the clock.

      Jill Johnson: That's not enough.

    • Guy: Hi... What are you wearing?

      Jill Johnson: Combat boots and a parka, you jerk. Who is this? This isn't funny!

      Guy: Yes it is!

    • Officer Burroughs: Do you have any friends that can come stay with you?

      Jill Johnson: They're all at the bonfire.
