Don't Hang Up

id recommend this movie for the ending, some what predictable, and somewhat not, ultimately rewarding. i mean, its touching on something millennials are literally making profitable lifestyles out of... who hasn't binge watched prank videos on youtube for hours before. this movie depicts a watch worthy result of one gone too far.

There's not a good guy on this movie so you really don't care much for the teenagers getting targeted by the mysterious man.

You do feel bad about the collateral damage though.

One of the main characters tries to redeem himself by acting morally to try to solve the situation which is nice to see but ultimately it's kinda too late and you don't actually have sympathy for what he's trying to accomplish.

The acting was poor.

That being said, the plot is interesting and well executed.

The characters acted smart which was a breath of fresh air among the average horror movies victims.

The movie got me interested about what was going to happen next and who was going to win that battle and survive.

Ultimately I enjoyed the watch and the ending was satisfactory.

It's definitely better than the fat majority of "horror" movies available on streaming platforms and it deserves a better rating on IMDB.

I did have low expectations going in after seeing the trailer thinking to myself "how many more times can they do this type of film?" However, it wasn't as bad as I expected. The plot twist at the end was refreshing, but I had trouble with the two main leads - I don't feel they were cast properly and belonged instead in some low budget comedy, not a thriller of this caliber. They were very unconvincing. Even the rest of the cast were nothing special. What was the most impressive was the directing, editing and cinematography - the latter of which I felt was too good for this type of film (i.e. camera zooms from keyhole). The pace was slow, but otherwise this film was not too shabby. It's a 6/10 form me

"Don't Hang Up" (2017) is an absolutely derivative horror movie that nevertheless manages to be halfway decent. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10.

We follow a handful of older teenage boys whose favorite avocation is perpetrating cruel prank phone calls and then posting them on the Internet. The horror genre's penchant for vengeance should make their comeuppance predictable. "Don't Hang Up" seems to borrow in equal (large) measure from the "Saw" and "Scream" film franchises, with touches of "Unfriended" (2014) and even "Silence of the Lambs" (1991).

Still, this was a halfway serviceable scary movie. There were nice moments of tension, and it held my interest.

This doesn't belong on anyone's must-see list, but it's a fun enough time-waster if you can't find a better movie.

When we look at what the characters did, it seems like they deserved what happened to them, but this situation is presented to us in such a way that we almost feel sorry for them. Both actors try to be believable. The directors' shots are successful and create tension, although not very surprising. It may have some boring and missing parts, but it can be said to be a good production among productions with social media content. It must not have been easy to film the movie with two people, but we can say that they succeeded in doing so, at least partially. Depending on the story, the ending could have been more interesting.
