A newly divorced young woman moves into a new apartment. She immediately begins to receive phone calls from a mysterious older woman. Before long some very strange events begin to happen.
The Caller operates mainly as a standard thriller where the heroine is drawn increasingly into a world of mystery with dark secrets; however, as the story develops, an unusual supernatural element is brought into the narrative. It becomes evident that the phone calls are coming from the past, and are directly changing the heroine's present in strange seemingly impossible ways. It's quite an original approach and gives the film a different angle from a typical thriller. Nevertheless, it isn't until the last third when the movie really takes off. The final confrontation is especially well delivered and scary. Overall, The Caller is a good supernatural thriller with some genuinely creepy moments. It takes a while to really get interesting but it ultimately does have some good moves.
