31 Days of Horror – The Caller (2011)





Oh, Netflix, it's frightening how well you know me…This movie has been popping up in my recommend feed for some time and I have continually overlooked it…Until today.  And I have to say I regret not pushing play sooner.

The Caller is a suspense/horror film that crosses the line into the supernatural with a twist on the fluidity of time.  Rachelle Lefevre stars as Mary Kee, a battered spouse who is currently undergoing a divorce.  She moves into a new apartment and is taking classes yet her husband continues to make her life a living hell.  One her first day in the new apartment, Mary receives a phone call from a woman who is searching for her boyfriend.  Believing it is a wrong number, Mary disregards the call and the caller.  But the caller will not be ignored and begins to stalk Mary in her own twisted way and from her own time.  You see, Rose, the woman on the other end of the phone, is actually from the past, give or take 40 years.

Lorna Raver stars as Rose, the creepy caller, with Stephen Moyer, Ed Quinn, and Luis Guzman co-starring.  The Caller was written by Sergio Casci and directed by Matthew Parkhill.  If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly recommend it.  The acting is superb and even in an age of cell phones, this movie will make you run out and buy an answering machine for screening calls.
