The Call (2013)

From Netflix:

When an abducted teenage girl makes a frantic call from the trunk of a serial killer’s speeding car, she connects with a sympathetic 911 operator who’s dealt with the perpetrator in the past.

Hold onto your seats! Halle Berry leads us through one of the most suspenseful film trips I have ever taken. Trying to catch a serial killer who has just abducted his latest victim leads from one exciting episode to another. This panicked killer is not squeamish so there is a fair amount of ugly violence.

Poor Michael Imperioli (who played Christopher Moltisanti in “The Sopranos”) tries to help the abducted girl. Oops!

Morris Chestnut plays Halle’s police officer boyfriend. He played Ryan Nichols in the 2011 TV version of “V”.

Michael Eklund’s portrayal of the serial killer is one of the more original such portrayals that I have seen. He is anything but calm, cook, and collected.

Do not watch this thriller too close to your bedtime!
