One of the best films i have seen

Good concept, poorly executed.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Pretty blind counsellor Sam (Corri English) is on her last ever shift at the crisis centre when serial killer John (Tyler Mane), a regular user of the hot-line, pays a visit.Devil May Call is pretty much what I expected from a horror film starring an ex-WCW wrestler and an ageing ex-pornstar: nothing to phone home about. To be fair, the film opens promisingly with a neat title sequence during which we hear a series of desperate calls to a crisis hot-line, followed by a tense scene in which a victim of serial killer John attempts to escape from the psycho's home while he is speaking to Sam on the phone. If only the rest of the film had been as 'edge of the seat', we might have had a unexpected treat on our hands.As it stands, the film is a massive disappointment, with a predictable plot that plays out in dreary fashion until the forgettable finale (I won't go into detail since I've already forgotten how the film ends). Mane, as hulking weirdo John, is mildly menacing due to his size, but the film fails to chill or thrill as it should, director Jason Cuadrado fumbling the intended jump-scares and delivering zilch in the way of gore. Traci Lords, once every teenage boys' wet dream, plays Val, an unmarried middle-aged counsellor obsessed with cats.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing interesting about this film. Well, I take that back. There are some great resources for a suicide hotline, etc. in the rolling credits at the end! It may be necessary because this movie made me want to end it all. I can appreciate that Traci Lords was in the film as a cat enthusiast and maybe forgive the force that was the new Michael Myers in the Halloween remakes. That is where it ends. Not a good film! Not scary! Has been done before and done better. I just don't know why this was made except for the fact that someone just wanted to make a film. Just because you can does not mean you should. And, you shouldn't have made this one...period!! I don't get why I cared if the kid lived...after the rolling credits ended...after the girl survives...after everyone else dies. Whoever gave this glowing reviews has to be a Hollywood crony, somewhere along the line, because that would be the only reason anyone might speak favorable about his one. No! No! No! No thank you!!

I'm not a big thriller/ horror movie fan, but I actually enjoyed Devil May Call so much! The story was unique, and the idea of having the lead be blind made everything that much more creepy!I caught myself holding my breath, holding my own hand, and even jumping out of my seat a few times!Corri English, who played Sam, did a great job at portraying a blind girl, and Tyler Mane, who played John, was the perfect killer! I was also surprised to see Traci Lords in it as Val, she did a great job! I had fears of being alone in dark places before, but after this I've officially become paranoid. The elevator scene...... I literally wanted to scream and jump out of my own skin!"Devil May Call" really is the perfect title for this film! The idea of a serial killer who phones in to a help hot-line center to get himself talked out of suicide is already creepy, but the fact that he gets so angry is terrifying! This is the type of thriller film I enjoy. Not too much gore and blood, it's more on the jumpy and psychological side. I also thought that John's place is the perfect serial killer house!

If you're looking for a movie to make you jump out of your seat this is it. The setting in a dilapidated building at night really adds to the creepy factor. Corri English is really convincing in her portrayal of a blind woman and her confidence while roaming around alone makes for a terrifying movie. I wanted to yell at her to be careful - a lot. Van Hansis is great as Jess. He's the typical sensitive insightful guy in a helping profession who you'd want on your side against a killer. There is one scene when he talks about being a bully and, in my opinion, it was the best "non-scary" scene in the film. Tyler Mane is his usual scary self and the stunt work in the scene with him and Van is pretty great. Check this one out if you want to be creeped out.
