I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Terrible horror, crappy jump scares, no real suspense, TOTALLY unrealistic and over the top.Awful, just awful, beyond awful.
Don't Hang Up: Directed by Damien Mace and Alexis Wajsbot and written by Joe JohnsonDon't Hang Up is a horror film where internet phone pranksters meet someone who turns the tables on them. This is a strange premise for the age we currently live in. It feels a lot like a dumb movie made out of time called Chain Letter. This teenager is making his prank phone calls via a landline. It's been a very long time since I've seen one of these in action outside of a business. It's why what little radio shows remain do prank calls to businesses. That was a little jarring to see but I was able to look past it. I have to say the directing is actually really well done. It tries for a David Fincher Panic Room vibe to a lot of the camera glides. It mixes Panic Room, Scream and Saw. It's an excellently done tension filled movie in that regard. It is super formuliac. The story is not going to be filled with surprises. It tries its best to put twists and turns in the story but you can see it coming. The characters are obnoxious d-bags in the very beginning much like Hostel. I'm starting to sense a pattern where even though this is a well made movie, it is still this mish mash of other films and better films. The actors eventually redeem these terrible characters as the real ramifications of their decisions dawn on them facing down this monster with a grudge. This villain though seems supernatural in what he is able to accomplish on his own. It can become difficult to comprehend how he is able to do this. You think he patches himself into things but it goes above and beyond that and it can get pretty hokey in the grand scheme of things. It tries. It's not enough. But it does try and I have to give the filmmakers some credit for that. I look forward to what they do for their next film. They just need better writing to go along with their directing skill. I give this film a C.
This movie was boring, bland, and left a bad taste in my mouth. The entire first 20 minutes of the film were basically unbearable to watch, the editing reminded me of #Horror - without the self awareness. The characters are never developed- why should I care about a couple of obnoxious teenage boys? And the acting was subpar. Sulkin's accent came out in the most 'intense' scenes, while he was yelling or struggling, and that automatically took me out of every scene. The plot was nothing special, and the ending got no reaction. Just another common slasher- barely even enjoyable, nowhere near noteworthy.
this film had even more clichés than theater-blood. Basically a quick summary would be "Cliché-galore". Everything was predictable if you have just seen a few horror films. And ye, it says its a homage to old slasher film, but it does nothing to live up to these. And that would be okay if they made something new or different. I guess that's were the whole "prank-channel"-plot comes in, in a desperate try to make an old genre relatable to current times (even though it isn't really needed), but they end up spending all the time on the phone anyways. It just ends up as a bad try to remake scream, without the meta-awareness that a film like scream, already back then, had incorporated in the plot. I usually don't mind common simple horror-films with a bit of spooks, but this was down right boring.
