The Caller is a Butterfly Effect type movie with a horror twist. It follows Mary as she moves into a new apartment and receives calls from a mystery woman a few decades in the past. The mystery caller keeps altering events in the past and this in turn affects Mary's present. Unfortunately, it feels drawn for the first hour and then feels rushed for the last half hour and could have been balanced better. The soundtrack is sparse and forgettable and could have been used to help fix the slow start. The film gets bonus points for trying to add something cerebral to the horror genre (even tipping its hat to Star Trek) but I can't imagine anyone wanting to watch it more than twice.
6/10
