Honest review
I have watched many horror movies in my time, and I am usually a fan of BlumHouse Productions movies. However, this horror/thriller movie has so many flaws and loose ends that it appears to be rushed and incoherent in its plot.
Spoilers ahead
There is so much that is unexplained. Why does the boys sister have these supernatural powers? What was the grabbers motive? Why was this black phone even in that room in the first place? The ending itself was so cliché with no plot twists. The movie was just a mess despite having a generally good theme. Also, the music was atrocious, it was incredibly mind numbing and difficult to listen to strange techno music whilst watching intense scenes. Whoever produced such music should find an alternative career. The continuous ringing of the phone very quickly became annoying to listen to and it was obviously becoming something that was easy for the writers to depend on to continue their haphazard storyline. Overall, this was a rushed and poorly executed movie which clearly had a chance to shine but was let down by a very obvious storyline and ending. The director and writers decided to play it safe so this movie will simply pass as a simple movie to those who have nothing better to watch. I highly suggest you do not answer the calls to watch this movie.
