The Caller

(2011)

The Caller is a Puerto Rican based thriller about a woman named Mary Kee (Rachelle Lefevre), who has moved into a new apartment after splitting from her overpossessive ex-husband. At once she starts receiving phone calls from an elderly woman, Rose, who seems to be confused as to what year it is and who is living in the apartment as she tells stories of her own ex. Then, the calls become more disturbing as a cat and mouse phone chase happens between the two. Meanwhile, to get away from her ex, Mary Kee joins a Spanish class when she enters the wrong class and meets John Guidi (Stephen Moyer), who instantly falls for her. As Mary Kee and John become more involved, the phone calls from Rose continue and she reveals information that turns out to be true, even though she seems to be an invalid in an old folks home. Are these calls from the past? What does the gardener (Luis Guzmán) know and is not telling? Did Rose actually murder someone and burying them in the house? Is any of this real? Who knows... From the director of a good little thriller Dot The I and nothing much since, The Caller is a rather labourious film that relies on the silly conceit of a time travelling phone call. But, the film tries to pack in far too many ideas to compensate for the not fully realised time travelling phone call conceit which causes the end to make not a lot of sense and it seems to come out of nowhere. I've seen plenty worse, but this ain't a recommendation.

While the below sex scene is pretty dark, I'm pretty sure Rachelle is wearing nipple patches. It looks more likely she did in the next shot after taking her top off. But, we briefly see her bum, so it's not all bad news.
