Devil May Call

About This Movie

Devil May Call (2013) has this intense, claustrophobic atmosphere that just grips you. The premise is pretty wild—a blind suicide hotline operator caught in a deadly game with a serial killer. It plays out in real-time, which adds to the tension. The pacing is relentless; you really feel the pressure mount as the night unfolds. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who conveys vulnerability and strength simultaneously. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, enhance the horror without feeling gimmicky. It’s the way the film plays with sound, too—being blind, the protagonist relies on what she hears, and that really draws you into her world. It’s not your typical slasher fare, but the psychological horror elements keep it interesting.
