The Caller
Trailer
Synopsis
Mary Kee has just moved to her new house following a somewhat traumatic divorce, and in it she finds a small object that draws her attention: a beautiful antique telephone. One day, Mary receives a call from a Rose somebody and, despite her initial surprise, she winds up establishing a kind of telephonic friendship. Until the day that Rose claims she’s calling from the past. Alarmed by this ludicrous idea, Mary tries to break off all contact with Rose, but the woman isn’t willing to disappear from her life so easily... A disturbing suspense film with a cast full of familiar faces and a soundtrack by the British group UNKLE.
