Shudder Review: The Call (2021) Starring Lin Shaye And Tobin Bell

Lin Shaye (Insidious) and Tobin Bell (Saw) star in The Call, the new supernatural horror film from Emmy® Nominated Director Timothy Woodward Jr. Set in the fall of 1987, a group of small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister couple after a tragic accident occurs. Needing only to make a single phone call, the request seems horribly ordinary until they realize that this call could change their life…or end it. Filled with twist after twist, the film reveals lies, secrets, and horrible deeds done by a teenage group, including the harassment they have committed against the elderly couple for years. In the first half of the movie you are given reason after reason to dislike these kids then the movie attempts to trigger your empathy halfway through by revealing their past traumas. But the group is flat-out unlikeable. They are rude, cruel, and well, just assholes in general, save for the new guy (Chester Rushing).

Friends Try To Survive Lin Shaye & Tobin Bell This December In ‘The Call’

The Call, from Emmy® Nominated Director Timothy Woodward Jr., is headed to Blu-ray and DVD this December. Horror icons Lin Shaye (Insidious franchise, Ouija) and Tobin Bell (Saw, Jigsaw), star. Set in the fall of 1987, a group of small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister couple after a tragic accident occurs. Needing only to make a single phone call, the request seems horribly ordinary until they realize that this call could change their life…or end it. Pairing Tobin and Lin, or Saw’s Jigsaw and Insidious’ Elise Rainier as they’re known to horror fans around the world, brings so much terror to the screen,” said Emmy® Nominated Director Timothy Woodward Jr. “Their chemistry is undeniable, and the power of their scenes splinters off, creating this dark, macabre world these characters are forced to survive in.” The film was written by Patrick Stibbs and produced by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick, Stibbs, Zebulun Huling, Gina Rugolo,

Movie Review: Max Reload and the Nether Blasters (2020)

Max Jenkins (Tom Plumley) and his pals Reggie (Joey Morgan) and Liz (Hassie Harrison) spend most of their time, free and otherwise, playin’ a Warcraft-esque MMORPG, but those fabricated adventures are about to become all to real… You see, Max works at a video game store… in fact all of his pals do; and it’s within those confines that our hero discovers a long lost Colecovision game, Nether Dungeon by name, that when conquered unleashes an ancient curse upon the small town our protagonists call home. Soon Max, Reggie, and Liz must face the Nether, along with the help of one of the game’s creators, Eugene Wylder (Greg Grunberg), and their level of success will determine the fate of the entire world! One of the greatest assets to Max Reload and the Nether Blasters is the mythology the flick conjures up around the fictitious video game that causes so much trouble for Max n’ friends. There’s a brief television documentary
