A Chamada

I believe someone once told me that the film makes killing and violence look appealing. I can't even explain how wrong that is. This truly is an amazing film.

The visual style is amazing. The whole film has sort of a psychedelic visual style, and utilizes constant cuts, and, believe me, it works perfectly. It's a film about pain, violence and giving in to cravings and desires, the killer talks with an alter ego, in the sense of making us think about society and human behaviour, rather than the intensity of a 2 hour bloodbath that we have seen.

The cinematography is superb, shadows, styles create a feeling of disorientation. Bold and brilliant, it´s a cult classic of low budget.

Great movie, with evil twists The institute is really scary, and the brother of the purifier is damned soul.

Fantastic first movie.

I just re-watched this to get ready for the new one, and I must say, this still holds up extremely well. The music, the opening scene, the bad guys, the shadows with just hints of light make this super creepy. Overall I would definitely recommend this film to any fan of the horror genre. A classic in Portugal.

Incredible feature film, filled with blood and deaths, the mind of this killer takes us on a trip a black hole of sacrifice.

This director has chosen an unique approach to this killer, and that´s what makes this a classic, we see every move he makes until it´s time to attack his victims, we see his dreams, and all his pain... Officer Caetano is in a world of hurt with this killer on the loose, and then we haver the other lunatic Breeder a mercenary who kills for money, both are excelent.

A very good movie that marked the beginning of a franchise.

I was very impressed by this, bought the first chapter on dvd, and was surprised by great performances by all the cast, especially from an actor (Hugo Silvestre) this guy made such an incredible performance when he talks about the times he spent with the killer at the institute, we can feel anger, pain, tears, everything in his words, great dark story, and incredible background on the character, now i know why this movie is loved by fans, i will soon buy the prequel and then will leave a review on it.

10/10 one of the best ever.
