Can I Call You?

About This Movie

So, 'Can I Call You?' is this low-budget gem that captures the unease of online dating perfectly. The pacing is deliberate, almost torturous at times, building tension as this unsuspecting woman dives into the world of digital romance. The atmosphere is thick with dread—every little sound in her apartment feels amplified. They really leaned into practical effects here, which adds a rawness that you don’t see much in more polished horror these days. The performances, particularly from the lead, feel genuine, capturing that mix of hope and anxiety we all have when meeting someone new. It’s not a typical slasher or ghost story; it’s more about the horror lurking in the mundane. There’s something distinctive about its approach to making you feel unsafe in what should be a harmless encounter.

Great example of indie horror's raw approach.The pacing may not appeal to everyone.Interesting themes about trust and vulnerability.
