What critics say influenced The Call
The Call is equal parts Scream and Audition and likely the most terrifying time travel horror film since Alejandro Hidalgo’s 2013 masterpiece The House at the End of Time .
Early scenes start considerably broader until the frame encroaches on the cast with the claustrophobia of early Polanski or late game Bergman– The Call has both the paranoia of Repulsion and the escalating surreal tension of Hour of the Wolf .

While The Call may not have the same philosophical aura as other Korean thrillers like I Saw the Devil, that probably wasn’t the film’s intent.
