Why watch this film?
South Korean cinema has always been good, but the West only started to show more interest after 'The Handmaiden', by Park Chan-wook, and 'Parasite' by Bong Joon-ho - which was the first non-English language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture and changed the history of the seventh art. Based on that, it's easier to say that most of the productions made in South Korea are good, interesting and with good plot twists. 'Call' is undoubtedly a well-constructed suspense, with an engaging story and good performances. If you liked the mentioned films, you will certainly be interested in 'Call'.

From the same director
Ballerina
Following in the footsteps of Korean action films starring women, such as The Villainess and Kill Boksoon, the movie Ballerina isn't afraid to shock – it consciously exaggerates the blood, adrenaline, and fighting. Meanwhile, the story follows a former bodyguard who, grieving the loss of her best friend after failing to protect her, will stop at nothing to fulfill her friend's last wish: revenge. It's a visually daring film that manages to bring the best of Korean action cinema to the table: stunning choreography and an engaging, thought-provoking plot.
Thriller
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
In Boy Kills World, Bill Skarsgård (IT) plays another somewhat disturbed protagonist. Here, he swears revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the disturbed matriarch who left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. With shades of John Wick, the young man seeks to become an instrument of death and promises to cause bloody chaos, ideal for those who enjoy a movie with few scruples and visually appealing aesthetics. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it's at least entertaining.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
