Don't Hang Up

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.

"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.

The story behind this movie was really weak. Every film has its share of nonsense, but usually, there's at least some underlying logic. In this one, however, you'd have to be a complete fool to go along with it. The plot is so poorly constructed that it makes the viewer feel outright stupid.

The characters and dialogue don't help either. The acting feels forced, and the script is filled with awkward lines that make it hard to take anything seriously. Instead of being entertaining, the movie just ends up feeling lazy and poorly thought out.

That said, if you're looking for something to laugh at with a friend and make fun of how ridiculous it is, it might be worth a watch. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Wow, so a movie that is shot entirely on someone's mobile phone camera passes as entertainment these days? This was just simply a joke and a farce of a horror movie.

Now, the storyline does have some worth to it. Just a shame that the movie was short entirely on a mobile phone camera, because it completely ruined the movie. I have to say that when I sit down to watch a movie, I don't want to watch people having a face-to-face video call whilst walking around in an old, scary house in the dark, and that passes as being entertainment. Sorry, but no, it was just garbage.

Writer Alex Herron, who also directed the movie, did manage to cram some good material into the narrative, just a shame that everything good and interesting was overshadowed by the discount and amateurish home-made video call type of filming.

A mere 23 minutes into the narrative, which actually felt more like an hour or so, and I was good and ready to hang up on this pathetic call. The narrative was sluggish, and the way that the movie was shot was just an insult to movie viewers everywhere.

I was not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, which was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie, as I do enjoy watching unfamiliar and new talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough.

This movie was more stupid that wet cardboard. I am simply amazed that something like this sees the light of day in 2025.

It would be interesting to see what writer and director Alex Herron could do with something that was actually filmed like a proper movie, and not some face-to-face video call on a mobile phone.

My rating of "Don't Hang Up" lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

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.
