Calling

About This Movie

So, 'Calling' is quite a curious piece from 2019, directed by an unknown—definitely adds to the film's mysterious vibe. It explores the psyche of Jianguo Wang, a real estate mogul grappling with dual personality disorder. You really feel the weight of his pressures, both at work and home, which adds this intense layer to his character. The pacing is interesting; it slowly builds tension as that stranger on the other end starts manipulating Wang’s environment, like his car door. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the eerie atmosphere. It’s not often you see a crime film dive so deep into psychological territory. The performances feel raw, especially the lead, who really captures that internal struggle. It’s distinctive for that combination of crime and psychological horror, I’d say.
