Halle Berry&#039;s 2013 psychological thriller film

‘The Call’ on Netflix Sends Halle Berry in Disbelief, Trends After 10 Years of Release

The Call on Netflix is the number one film on the streaming giant, and it seems
like Halle Berry is confused. But why? Well, the movie first came out in almost
10 years ago in 2013. After all this, it is suddenly getting viewers’ attention.
It is no wonder Berry has important question to ask her fans soon after the
movie started trending.

The Call had an interesting and unique concept but received mixed reviews at the
time of its release. The movie earned only $68.6 million at the box office.
However, since the pandemic-induced home time, many old movies like the Halle
Berry-starred have resurfaced to top Netflix charts.

THE CALL REVIEW

On Rotten Tomatoes, the Halle Berry starrer scored
[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_call_2013] only 44% in critics’ reviews
but 65% in the audience score. Moreover, the movie received 6.7 out 10 on IMDb
[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1911644/]. As mentioned earlier, the movie
received mixed reviews. For instance, Grantland
[http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-week-in-movies-answering-the-call-and-the-soporific-powers-of-burt-wonderstone/]
called The Call, “a cleverly made, smartly written, totally satisfying
armrest-gripper.”

Meanwhile, Guardian wrote in its review
[http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/sep/19/the-call-review]: “A promising
picture turns into gibberish. Shame.”

London Evening Standard too didn’t have a good opinion about film. Their review
[http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/film/the-call--film-review-8828906.html]
read: “The Call is the kind of vaguely smart, extremely gory gloop you should
watch on TV, preferably when you’re tucked up in bed with a delirium-inducing
fever. That way, you won’t notice when the script goes bonkers.”


HALLE BERRY HAS A QUESTION FOR HER FANS

When The Call reached Netflix’s Top 10 list for movies
[https://flixpatrol.com/top10/streaming/united-states/2022-04-13/], Halle Berry
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/halle-berry] has a hilarious response. She
couldn’t believe the sudden craze the film was receiving. So, Berry ended up
asking her fan if they were alright.

> ….so “The Call” is the No. 1 movie on @netflix
> [https://twitter.com/netflix?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] right now, nearly 10 years
> after it’s release. Are y’all OK? 😂

> [https://twitter.com/halleberry/status/1514331418071285760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]



Maybe Berry was doing just fine to know that the film did not do that well in
its days. But it is great to know that the viewers are still giving a chance to
modest movies that aren’t part of some Cinematic Universe. Maybe there will be
another random movie topping Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news]
charts this weekend.
