5.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyable., 3 Jan 2004
By muttmummy (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Calling [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
I got a shock here - bought this dirt cheap along with 3 other dirt cheap dvds from my local store. Expected rubbish to be honest - the other three movies were so dire I didn't bother watching this one for ages. When I did, I was very pleasently surprised.
This is actually a very good movie indeed.
It is English (hoorah! No bleached teeth!) which is great as we do indeed churn out some good stuff - as underrated as it always is.
It is similar to Rosemary's Baby, in that a young wife becomes pregnant with a child whom she gradually discovers is evil incarnate. To tell you more actually gives plot details away so I shall say just this.....
This is a good quality movie - a good cast with decent acting and some really well played out plot twists. The ending was superior to many supernatural chillers on this subject.
I was impressed and will certainly watch this again and again.
Sometimes, you stumble over a movie that no one ever seems to have heard of, and yet is really very good. This is one of them.
I highly recommend this.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Apalling, 1 Mar 2006
This review is from: The Calling [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
When I rented this film it just had the 2 positive reviews on Amazon- which to me is totally inexplicable- I'm glad other reviwers are putting the record straight. This is a TERRIBLE film. I don't know where to begin, the script resembles some sort of GCSE project, clumsily written with most of the plot coming out through clunky voiceovers as the writer lacks the skill to reveal anything through dialogue. The acting, what can I say, these 'actors' might be able to sustain the suspension of disbelief required for say, a loans direct advert, but are totally lost in a film. The main male lead resembles a catalogue model who accidentally walked on to a film set, certainly not someone who's ever had an acting lesson. The child, who we are supposed to believe is the spawn of satan, is about as sinister as a pop tart. The female lead is equally unconvincing, although, with such a ludicrously bad script none of them have much to work with.
The story is in Rosemary's Baby/ The Omen territory but without a single atom of originality. On top of that the behavior of the characters is utterly implausable. For example the female lead STILL forgives and wants to stay with her husband despite the following: he's handed her over for a bit of nooky with satan on her wedding night, crucified her son on a laughable upside-down cross, tried to hang then put-down her dog, murdered her best friend and all the while been having an affair with his colleague. It's ridiculous, the whole film's ridiculous, I can't even bring myself to waste any more time talking about it. DO NOT RENT/BUY THIS! If you're looking for something with similar themes try Rosemary's Baby, The Omen (1st one) or The Seventh Sign- all of which are VASTLY superior to this rubbish. I can't believe stuff like this gets made at all, rant, rant...

By A Customer
This review is from: The Calling [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
wow what an amazing film. bought the film expecting it to be like the usual anti-christ theme but ended up watching a well thought out and interesting film. the ending was the most suprising thing of all, expect to be shocked at the twist at the end :D
