:¬: Some Of The Story :¬:

First call is the start of the movie were a girl "Leah Templeton" played by Evie Thompson calls 911 as she hears weried noises then releases that it is a person breaking into her house. Jordan Turner played by Halle Berry tells her to find a room and lock herself in it, she quickly runs up stairs goes into a room and hides under the bed. Micheal Foster the imposer breaking in played by Micheal Eklund runs up stairs and searches every room he is faced with a room with the window open as he checks if she is outside, she is not so he runs back down stairs exiting the room that Leah is in. The call drops between Jordan and Leah, Jordan being so worried for Leah she quickly re-dials the number forgetting that the phone send a huge noise through the house. The phone rings.

As the phone line is disconnected by Micheal she goes into complete utter shock... Watch the movie to find out what happens next.


:¬: Rating :¬:
I give The Call rating of 4.5/5 :Thumbs-Up: it has scared me now, yet it has a great story. The actors were perfect for this movie and must of been a extreme effort to act those roles, yet the ending is a bit of a twist I wont tell you anymore.

Thanks for reading,

You've just copied and pasted from imdb and added in 2 lines of your own words? What sort of review is that? Review the full film and put it in spoilers.

I've seen this film and think it's very good. The woman who takes the call is a great actor and plays the part well. It's kind of edge of your seat for a lot of this in the hope things turn out for the better.

The ending isn't a massive twist either really, just having justice served

You got the video from youtube and the cast from imdb too, there's not much of your own work there, I could have looked on imdb for a review if I wanted Sorry - I was just hoping to see an actual review from your opinion on the film. You haven't actually reviewed it - no opinions or critiques about the film!
