Don't Hang Up

Don't Hang Up is a solid piece of filmmaking with strong performances - especially from Siri Black, who delivers a standout portrayal of Vicky. The film absolutely did what a horror movie is supposed to do: it scared me.

The sound design is excellent - sharp, immersive, and used in all the right moments to build unease and tension. It plays a big role in making the fear feel real, and it definitely got under my skin more than once. The ending felt a bit rushed, but overall, this is a horror film that delivered exactly what I wanted: a tense and scary ride. It may not reinvent the genre, but it knows exactly what it's doing - and it does it well in my opinion.

The movie was amusing and became hard to watch, the plot was horrible the acting felt forced and horrendous. The movie went from scary movie to comedy movie in two seconds.

The first part of the movie was alright with all their glitchy effects and "bad internet" effects, but did not make up for their bad plot and uniqueness. It was truly something funny to watch in the movies.

It is really only recommended to watch if you plan to go with your friends or family just to ahit talk this movie and laugh about. It is not a good horror or thriller movie, and would rather spend my bucks on another movie airing.

My biggest issue is that right there..... this movie wasn't even filmed in the same state.... much less actually in Tulsa.... my dumb self was watching it looking for anything familiar at all.... As someone who has sent more than half my life in Tulsa and worked delivery all over for decades there I know it pretty well. By the end of the movie I had to get on Google and look into it because nothing in the movie looked anything like anywhere around Tulsa! ... Come to find out, it was filmed in New Jersey... so yeah... that already sank it for me. Add in the mediocre storyline, they obviously didn't do their research on the Tulsa Massacre at all. On top of that, we are supposed to believe that those 2 people are seriously connected via FaceTime basically 24/7??... Yeeeeah, no. I am not even going to go into the choices these people made or how disrespectful they were of property that wasn't theirs. The acting wasn't the worst I have seen, but that is about all I can say about this movie... I definitely won't be bothered to ever watch it again.

I don't get it how eva get back to home when she was sent to the hospital.

Next one is, the goal of the ghost is to see Justin but why do they chase over Eva instead of Vicky who was very disrespectful at the very beginning. To be honest, that movie is not good enough. Even after they have met with their son, they still attach to Eva. What is wrong with Eva? Really not worth to watch. Well, if anyone has a clear understanding, pls share with us. I think the one who should be punish is Vicky, I saw eva did nothing wrong with that family and she become a victim after all. The script is really bad.

"Don't hang up" is a great example of innovation that doesn't always work out. The FaceTime format creates for an intimate and helpless feel, but also a lot of drawbacks. First and foremost is the classical but also annoying horror-movie-feeling that the characters are making stupid choices all throughout. This is elevated knowing that there is a connection out of the house and therefore someone that is able to get help but doesn't. The little man sitting in the corner of the screen is supricingly not as disturbing as you might think in the start of the movie. The movie does achieve the scariness that is often the bedrock criteria for these movies, but a lot of it is lost in what I describe as a rushed and underplayed ending. To summarise, Alex Herron and his team has achieved a scary and innovating piece about an often overlooked historical event, sadly the same innovation seems to have crippled the movie in some central aspects. Exited to see more of this style and more innovation from Alex Herron.
