shelleyfurniss Absolutely horrific, story was boring and pointless. Bad acting, not so scary villan and the saviour boy of the day was pathetic.Only watch if you have literally nothing else to watch.

Leofwine_draca DEVIL MAY CALL is another entry in the long-running sub-genre of "blind women in peril" movies. Highlights of this sub-genre include the likes of WAIT UNTIL DARK, BLIND TERROR, and many others, but this insipid piece is even worse than the recent cheese of PENTHOUSE NORTH. The grey, washed-out cinematography is the perfect accompaniment to the blandest of story lines. A hotline operator finds herself stalked by one of her clients, a deeply disturbed guy with murder in mind. He turns up at her place of work one night, and murders ensue...Where to start with this film? Everything's wrong about it, from the forgettable acting to the one-dimensional characters (including much of the 'cannon fodder' supporting cast), poor script, silly kill scenes, and an almost entire lack of menace throughout. Corri English is acceptable in the central role - playing a blind character is never easy - but everyone else is poor. This includes B-movie starlet Traci Lords and Tyler Mane (X-MEN), the latter playing the rather uninteresting killer. Despite the short running time, this goes on and on for what seems like an age, until an ending which cuts things off abruptly just when it was getting interesting.

begob This gets into its pace early on, with a good sequence of voices in the ether. The situation has potential and the characters are clear.I found myself losing interest in the middle, I think because the killer is bog standard with nothing to make him stand out. Might as well have been Frankenstein's monster. Also the violence isn't interesting, too safe.When they ramp up the tension they have to use sound effects with a silly double bump-in-the-dark. Then we get the usual lame choices that the hunted always make to annoy the audience. And there was one really good jump scare in the elevator that they didn't execute properly.For all the criticism the ending is good. I'd been wondering all along why they made the heroine blind, but that finally delivers good irony. Pity they didn't spend more time on it, let the killer reveal some complexity.Overall, a straight story that steadily runs out of inspiration, only to reel it back in the final moments.

universallafter 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!
