The Cold Caller (2019) User Reviews

A Delicious Dark horror-drama

[harringtonday · 10/10 · 26 April 2019]

From the immediate outset this dark horror short delivers a great macarbe suspense that builds in intensity and tension throughout. The production values of this film are supported by a well measured script, great characterisations and sound design. Great story telling with modern-day twist that delivers a poinant punchline!

Seeing productions like this demonstrate perfectly that 'Less is More' in terms of unnecessary dialogue and expositions. Here we see the true craft of story telling. Sound and voice work are respectfully crafted which enhances all of the performances. The film is allowed to find it's own pace and the visuals are well measured.

Nothing is wasted and everything is used in this horror gem.

Hair-raising horror

This little horror will make you squirm in your seat as we embark on the short lived journey of our protagonist whose desperate attempts to survive are thwarted shockingly too soon. Its a bitter sweet ending as an interesting take on monotony of daily life as an unpleasant sales pitch comes at the worst possible time. More than worth a watch, hold on tight!

Tight and tense.

Marian Elizabeth plays the hapless victim, what is going to happen to her and how grim it will be is without doubt. But she is smart and manages to find a way of getting help... Shame that it doesn't work out.

This is a gripping four minutes with a victim, a psychopath and a room. This is what short horror films are about.
