Chamada Desconhecida

If you don't expect too much of this film it's not that bad .... It's not an a grade film but it's not the worst I have seen and it does keep you on the edge of the seat most of the film. It is better than some of those handy cam horror films that are out there ... People with money always get into trouble Don't mind the Ferrari scenes at the start of the film too and house has nice scenery. Overall I would give it a 6/10 not a bad effort .. Judge for yourself.. Ashamed this gets a low rating it really isn't the worst movie made and there are so many others I would out at the bottom of the pile before this one and I have worked in in the movie industry previously so I know how critical people can be of movies but as I always say not everyone sees a movie the same way ... Give it a go !

Awful dialogue, mediocre to awful acting, failure to understand technology in the slightest, and ultimately just a "fracking bad" boogeyman moral at the end.

The Cat, Oreo, was genuinely the best and most convincing performance in the entire movie, only to be killed off by some magical superhacker gun turret.

Absolute failure in writing, directing, and acting. I don't care how bored or curious you might be, don't waste over 100 minutes on this schlock.

The plot started quite quickly and my first thought was, "this is going to be boring". So I continued doing some errands, and before I knew it, I've sat down on the couch and was hooked! Maybe go in with low expectations, and then enjoy the show!

Unknown Caller is a decent psychological thriller that should please genre fans as it deserves more acclaim and attention than it has gotten so far. The story revolves around a successful lobbyist who has some personal issues. One night, he has to help out his estranged ex-wife and take care of their daughter for one night. Things take a sinister turn when an unknown caller menaces the lobbyist by telling him that he must solve a series of riddles or else his whole mansion is going to be destroyed by a bomb placed underneath it. The lobbyist essentially needs to find out who is calling him and what the perpetrator's intentions are.

This film convinces on multiple levels. First of all, the story might not be innovative but is executed convincingly with a few twists and turns leading to a spectacular finale in a memorable location.

Up next, the movie's atmosphere is tense from start to finish as it will keep you on the edge of your seat. The mansion looks bleak and cold, the movie takes place at dusk and at night and the few locations outside the mansion look isolated and sinister. The pace accelerates as the film progresses and ends on a particularly high note.

The acting performances are the movie's only significant issue aside a few exaggerated elements in the plot. It's difficult to empathize with the different characters since they are either antipathic or unspectacular. David Chisum plays a protagonist who only cares about influence and wealth and comes across as terrible father and unfaithful former husband. The mysterious antagonist played by Henri Lubatti simply comes across as desperate psychopath without any relevant purposes. The only actor that is remotely interesting is played by Assaf Cohen who plays a resilient man who risks his life to protect the lives of others around him even though he ends up getting caught up in a deadly game that doesn't even remotely concern him.

In the end, Unknown Caller has more positive than negative elements to showcase. Despite a few exaggerated plot elements and antipathic characters, this film convinces with intriguing twists and turns and gripping atmosphere from start to finish. It's not mandatory to watch this flick but genre fans should certainly appreciate it for what it is.

Is the acting bad? Check Is the plot beyond asinine? Check The little girl, who's watching her parents scream, as their being trapped with a bomb in the house, she also witnesses a man get shot, all while being kidnapped. Through all the trauma she's is calmer than a monk on Xanex.
