Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Leofwine_draca DEVIL MAY CALL is another entry in the long-running sub-genre of "blind women in peril" movies. Highlights of this sub-genre include the likes of WAIT UNTIL DARK, BLIND TERROR, and many others, but this insipid piece is even worse than the recent cheese of PENTHOUSE NORTH. The grey, washed-out cinematography is the perfect accompaniment to the blandest of story lines. A hotline operator finds herself stalked by one of her clients, a deeply disturbed guy with murder in mind. He turns up at her place of work one night, and murders ensue...Where to start with this film? Everything's wrong about it, from the forgettable acting to the one-dimensional characters (including much of the 'cannon fodder' supporting cast), poor script, silly kill scenes, and an almost entire lack of menace throughout. Corri English is acceptable in the central role - playing a blind character is never easy - but everyone else is poor. This includes B-movie starlet Traci Lords and Tyler Mane (X-MEN), the latter playing the rather uninteresting killer. Despite the short running time, this goes on and on for what seems like an age, until an ending which cuts things off abruptly just when it was getting interesting.

brittanyd The nice thing about Devil May Call is that its a compact story that packs a lot of punch. I was on the edge of my seat, and the nice thing about it was that I could watch it with just about anyone... without feeling the need to cover their or my eyes (or ears).Corri English is fantastic and so is queen Traci Lords! She definitely stole the show.Though I would have liked to see her in the film more. I think the casting was done well, because not one star takes over the story. I was able to believe all of the actors in their characters. The story flowed really well, I didn't have much to catch up with and I didn't get left behind by the story going too quickly. I like that the gore wasn't excessive and I was never grossed out. A great thriller nonetheless!

universallafter I'm not a big thriller/ horror movie fan, but I actually enjoyed Devil May Call so much! The story was unique, and the idea of having the lead be blind made everything that much more creepy!I caught myself holding my breath, holding my own hand, and even jumping out of my seat a few times!Corri English, who played Sam, did a great job at portraying a blind girl, and Tyler Mane, who played John, was the perfect killer! I was also surprised to see Traci Lords in it as Val, she did a great job! I had fears of being alone in dark places before, but after this I've officially become paranoid. The elevator scene...... I literally wanted to scream and jump out of my own skin!"Devil May Call" really is the perfect title for this film! The idea of a serial killer who phones in to a help hot-line center to get himself talked out of suicide is already creepy, but the fact that he gets so angry is terrifying! This is the type of thriller film I enjoy. Not too much gore and blood, it's more on the jumpy and psychological side. I also thought that John's place is the perfect serial killer house!

pbghgirl If you're looking for a movie to make you jump out of your seat this is it. The setting in a dilapidated building at night really adds to the creepy factor. Corri English is really convincing in her portrayal of a blind woman and her confidence while roaming around alone makes for a terrifying movie. I wanted to yell at her to be careful - a lot. Van Hansis is great as Jess. He's the typical sensitive insightful guy in a helping profession who you'd want on your side against a killer. There is one scene when he talks about being a bully and, in my opinion, it was the best "non-scary" scene in the film. Tyler Mane is his usual scary self and the stunt work in the scene with him and Van is pretty great. Check this one out if you want to be creeped out.
