CLOSE CALLS

Cinemavixion Review

Richard Stringham's "Close Calls" plunges viewers into the disquieting world of Morgan, a troubled adolescent grappling with addiction and isolation. The film masterfully crafts an atmosphere of escalating dread as Morgan, left alone at home, finds herself targeted by a sinister caller. Jordan Phipps delivers a compelling performance, embodying Morgan's vulnerability and paranoia with raw intensity. The narrative skillfully blurs the lines between external threats and Morgan's internal struggles, making for a tense psychological thriller. While the film may not shy away from its grim subject matter, it offers a potent exploration of fear and the demons that can haunt us, amplified by the unsettling presence of her grandmother and the constant threat from the phone. A taut and unnerving cinematic experience.
