Don't Hang Up

About This Movie

In Alex Herron's 'Don't Hang Up', the tone is a creeping dread that settles in as Summer navigates her weekend getaway in Tulsa. It’s not just about the horror lurking behind the screens; the film plays with isolation and the haunting nature of technology. You’ve got Summer, Vicky, and Eva hanging out in an AirBnB, but their carefree atmosphere turns sour when they realize they're being watched. The pacing is tight, building suspense as the night goes on. Practical effects add a raw edge that feels more visceral than over-the-top CGI. Performances are solid, capturing the genuine camaraderie of friends while hinting at underlying tensions. What stands out is the film's commentary on dependence on technology; it’s almost a character itself.

Strong sense of atmosphere through sound design.Themes of technology and isolation explored.Interesting use of practical effects over CGI.
