Too much of everything

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

END CALL is a dreadful little Japanese horror film inspired by Miike's ONE MISSED CALL. The story is about a telephone call which takes you right through to the Devil himself, who grants wishes but curses you at the same time. I was expecting a proper ghost story, but this turns out to be a low budget indie which simply doesn't have the budget to achieve anything convincingly. All you're left with is dull and gloomy greyed-out photography and a handful of set-piece sequences, the best of which happens at the outset and features a guy brushing his teeth with a razor rather than a toothbrush. The rest? Forgettable tosh, I'm afraid.

This movie was pretty hard to watch.The premise is silly -- the devil has a phone number -- yes a phone number -- wonder if it's a landline or cell? If you call him at a specific time he grants a wish but controls you until the end of the call!Where did that one come from? It's the worst premise ever. How do you get the number? Is the devil listed? Does he text?OMG, it's so dumb.I will say that it's well acted and directed but there is no way to get over the initial premise which cannot leap over the disbelief of what you are about to see.So all I will say is, if you want to watch a movie where a guy brushes his teeth until he dies, this is for you.
