The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Call (2013)

Starring: Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Michael Imperioli, Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund
Director: Brad Anderson

Premise:
A 911 operator gets caught up with trying to help a teenage abductee escape a serial killer

My Take:
A fairly by the numbers thriller which manages to be watchable but hardly noteworthy. I expected something far much substantial from director Brad Anderson who usually manages to short circuit my brain.

Rating: In the middle (but don't expect much)
