The Killer is Calling

Of course I had not heard about this 2025 movie prior to watching it. But then again, I am not really keeping myself up to date on Lifetime movies. But with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and I had the chance to watch it, of course I had to check out what director Craig Pryce had to offer.

The storyline in the movie was pretty straightforward. Writers Alyssa Kramer and Troup Wood put together a fair enough script, although it was a bit generic and rather predictable. But it still made for an entertaining and enjoyable movie, and isn't that the sole purpose of a movie? So yeah, I was adequately entertained throughout the course of the 86 minutes that the movie ran for.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, except for leading actress Janaya Stephens, but it was a good ensemble of actors and actresses. They put on good performances to bring the story to life and the characters to life on the screen.

"The Killer is Calling" is not a movie that makes use of special effects.

This movie was actually adequate entertainment for a single viewing, and not one you should avoid just because of it being a Lifetime movie.

My rating of "The Killer is Calling" lands on a six out of ten stars.

This little gem keeps you on the edge of your seat pretty much the entire movie as a deranged killer out for revenge for the death of his wife and daughter. He blames a 911 police officer for this and is very meticulous as manipulates things so he zeroes in specifically on her and her family for his revenge, with as many helpers out of the way as he can. A few small holes and a bit of unbelievable action by her trainee who is also under the killers spell. Nothing questionable, no nudity, no foul language, violence is mild (made for TV) a fun ride that keeps you guessing with a few well placed twists. Enjoy !

Such a brilliantly written thriller! I went in with no expectations, and the plot had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The film is packed with unexpected twists and turns at every corner, and it keeps the suspense unraveling in ways I never saw coming.

The lead actress delivers an outstanding performance as Faye. She brings depth to her character that truly elevates the storytelling throughout the entire film. The delivery of her character definitley captivates the audience throughout the movie.

Loved watching this and would recommend-it's written so cleverly and will keep viewers on their toes until the very end!
