Report

Synopsis

In the fall of 1987, a group of small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister couple after a tragic accident occurs. Needing only to make a single phone call, the request seems horribly ordinary until they realize that this call could change their life…or end it.

A woman abuses her adopted daughter though the abuse is only seen when the daughter is 28. The younger version of the main character is emotionally mistreated by the antagonist as well.

Young-sook’s spiritually abusive mother gaslights her.

The narrative also validates the mother’s abuse of Young-sook, suggesting that it would have been best if she had been murdered, because when the protagonist attempts to help her, she becomes increasingly violent and abusive and becomes a serial killer.

I just watched this movie (The Call 2020 with Lin Shaye). There were NO animals in the movie. I believe the other comments are referring to another movie.

There is another movie called The Call from South Korea that also came out in 2020 but I can’t find it here so I’m just commenting on this one instead - that movie is also safe! A character puts her hand over her mouth in one scene and looks like she maybe gags but it’s very brief and then nothing else happens
