This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Raymond Sierra
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Staci Frederick
Blistering performances.

I expected nothing more than an average typical thriller movie but this one kept me intrigued due to the mystery of who the caller is, why she was calling and what she was going to do next. I was also still thinking about this movie for a while after it ended as the storyline was so bizarre but very interesting. It starts off like any other thriller movie but surprised me with the twists in the storyline. There's no other movie I've seen with this storyline so it definitely kept me guessing. I found it easy to relate to the characters and was able to put myself in their shoes (especially Mary) which made it that much more suspenseful. Definitely worth a watch if you're looking for something different.

I had some hope for this movie, as I generally like this type of film, but was hugely disappointed. First of all, don't know if it's just sub par film they used, or it was an attempt at a movie effect, but the entire movie was dark, and had very little red, so everyone and everything was cast in a dark blueish, greenish tint. A full 50 percent of the time I had no clue what was even going on. I finally read the Wikipedia review to even understand the ending due to being in the dark. They need better film or get rid of the dark effect to make the movie tolerable. With decent color film, I would raise my rating to a 5 or 6 anyway, but not being able to see parts that were important ruined it for me.

I've watched a lot of crappy horror movies on Netflix, so when I run into an actual good one, it's a refreshing treat! I didn't expect a whole lot out of this flick -- I assumed it would be like so many others I've watched: sub-par acting, a predictable plot, the ubiquitous jump scenes. Instead, I got pretty much the exact opposite: a cool premise with not only supernatural elements, but a little time-manipulation as well; believable, sympathetic characters, and a fresh take on the usual horror fare.I thought the lead actress, Rachelle Lefevre, did an excellent job conveying the right mix of toughness and vulnerability, given her situation, and it was nice to see Stephen Moyer NOT being a vampire. I even liked that the "villain" was a woman -- not something you see all that often in the genre. All in all, this movie was a very pleasant surprise, and for anyone out there getting bored with the cheezy horror available on Netflix, give this one a watch. I doubt you'll be disappointed!

I saw this movie last night with high expectations since I had read some interesting reviews about it.But i was disappointed. The movie starts with a nice build up... a young girl (Mary Kee) is on a divorce and moves to a new apartment to start a new life, and that's where some strange calls begin.A woman, Rose, insistently calls, we realize that she is depressed and with some problems. Mary begins to think that something is wrong ... and that there is a connection of those calls with something that happened earlier in that house.SPOILERS AHEAD:So far so good, the problem starts when we begin to understand the relationship between calls, Rose and Mary. And the repercussions of the actions that take place are ridiculous because they cause several continuity problems, making the story completely absurd.At the end we realize that nothing makes sense, because some actions should impact others... and well, they do, but only sometimes. The present of the main character (her choices, and even her state of mind) should be altered by Rose's previous actions, and that doesn't happen. Ie, being burned while young, she would certainly develop a lot of complexes during youth, probably would not even be with the same man. Surely her life would have taken a completely different direction, moreover after the trauma of having killed someone. Her storyline would have been completely redefined.The premise is interesting, but the script is so poorly developed...
