Film Discussion: The Call

Horror in the Margins

Let's bend time, Pod People! This month, we discuss K-horror gem The Call, which centers around two women who can communicate through time via a cordless phone - similar to Frequency or Don't Let Go, but with some incredible twists we didn't see coming! We chat about manipulating the timeline, shifting alliances as the story unfolds, and THAT coda at the end of the film.
We also reveal our full moon/truest selves in response to last month's interview with Brandon O'Brien, shoutout some exciting goings on at the upcoming StokerCon convention in San Diego, and discuss your answers to April's Question of the Month. Get ready to add a ton of horror poetry collections to your bookshelves! Scroll to the bottom of the show notes for a full list of recommended dark verse.
For May, the Question of the Month is: What is your favorite Korean horror film? Sound off on our socials or send us an email at [e-mail] to share your favorite!
Our discussion of The Call begins with behind-the-scenes trivia and first impressions at 21:26. Spoilers for the film begin at 37:05.
