The Caller

Psychological thrillers have a way of intriguing the audience, especially if they have a well written story included, that shows the way of mental statements. I can think of quite many good titles out there, not only the most classic ones, but also some lower budget titles, that still had alot to say. When i saw the trailer of The Caller, i were curious. since this might actually look like something in my taste. In the final run, is The Caller worth the attention, or is this just another straight to dvd release easy to forget?

Mary Kee ( Rachelle Lefevre ) is divorced to her abusive ex-husband. She moves into her new apartment to begin a new life. She finds an old telephone that she loves, and plug it in. Not long after, she gets phone calls from someone who call herself Rose ( Lorna Raver ). She says she wants to talk to Bobby, and that Bobby knows Mary lives in this apartment. Mary try to ignore Rose, and just continue with her daily life. But when more phone calls from Rose become more threatening, Mary becomes worried what this woman really wants. One strange detail is that Rose claims it is the year 1979. Mary start investigating who this Rose is, and why she is doing this?  

I am surprised. The Caller is a suspenseful thriller, where you need to decide, what is really going on here ? The best part is that director Matthew Parkhill, knows how to build an intelligent plot into the psychological perspective. Forget that Rachelle Lefevre were in the 2 first Twilight movies, this is where she proves her acting talent. Another detail i enjoy is the phone call scenes, when Rose calls to talk about Bobby. You never get bored listening to this strange woman in the phone, she is really creepy.  The movie have been out for quite some time on dvd/blu ray, since april, but make sure you rent it, online or in your local video store, it´s worth checking out. Just make sure to turn off the lights infront off your tv, to get the true feeling of watching The Caller, thrilled to your seat.
