Hellphone

I can't believe what the makers of this film were able to do with it! it is so cleverly written and it's obvious that the writer has a love for the campy/horror genre. It gives nods to Evil Dead, as well it should! The actors were wonderful! The leads carried their roles confidently. It's so nice to see a truly strong female lead that dominates the movie...and stays strong until the end! none of the typical strong female who turns wimpy in the end! and the two guys who vie for her affection play off of each other splendidly! what great chemistry between them! It was so nice to see NC featured, particularly a small town like Madison! See this film! it's worth your while and it's important to support independent film makers!

I was not sure what to expect with this movie as I am not a horror "buff" and I knew this was done on a tiny budget. I was pleasantly surprised! It felt like a "real movie" instead of a budget/homemade one. I jumped out of my seat and then laughed myself silly. The writing is great and the actors did an awesome job bringing the characters to life. Well done! I would recommend this to anyone with a love of campy/horror. The fact that it is was filmed in my home state was an added bonus! It is nice to see that films can be produced in local communities! It highlights a lovely town in North Carolina and portrays some of the charm of a small town.

Fantastic idea. We use cellphones all day, what if they could kill you? Well, they do kill you but that is another review. Hellphone is a well executed film that really revels in the story and ideas. The film has a enjoyable lightness to it even though it moves like lightning. I found myself constantly laughing or chuckling to myself.

The story might take place in a small town but it doesn't reuse the tired-old clichés. People are connected, they love their technology, it is a chaotic vibrant environment. My favorite moments in this film are when people are unable to get off their phones even though they know it could kill them. I see this everyday when I drive to work. It is funny scary kind of stuff.

Overall, it is an entertaining movie that speaks to a lot of issues that are currently cropping up. The fight scenes towards the end are awesome! I hope they make a sequel.

This movie was way better than I originally expected. Considering the VERY small budget, this movie was ultimately Excellent. The main actors were lovable. I laughed so hard on some scenes. Best of all, "Hellphone" was unpredictable. A few scenes made me jump in my seat....I never saw that coming. I would definitely see this movie again. I believe the extras did a great job. The opportunity for the residents of the small town of Madison to be in a film was encouraging, to say the least. "Hellphone", makes you wonder, do towns like this really exist in the United States?? Maybe they do; so the next time you big city people decide to buy a home in a small, quaint and quiet town, you may want to check the history first. You never know what secrets rest behind the sweet, welcoming, demur folks that will soon be your neighbors.

This movie is great in its own right and amazing considering that it was accomplished on such a tight budget. It boggles the mind to think how the writer, directors and cast were able to create such a cohesive cinematic experience while relying on a minuscule budget and the assistance the community could (and did) provide. Although this "genre" of movie is not in my normal mainstay, I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it again. The film contains items of interest that are often missing in large budget productions: it has mystery, romance, history, culture all wrapped around a plot with enough complexity to maintain the viewer's interest. While I was watching I was taken to the small-town Madison and forgot where I was sitting. Well done!
