Cinedigm and Fathom Events have announced that The Call is coming back to the big screen with an extended, uncut edition just in time for Halloween. “The Call: The Uncut Experience” will be in 700 movie theaters nationwide on Wednesday, October 27, at 7 p.m. local time.
Following the film, there will also be a pre-recorded Q&A interview with Emmy® Award-winning director Timothy Woodward Jr. about making the movie and plans for a sequel.
From the creator of “Final Destination,” “The Call” is anchored by horror icons Lin Shaye and Tobin Bell. Shaye is best known for her role as Elise Rainier from the worldwide box office hit franchise “Insidious.” She’s also starred in a variety of horror films, including “The Grudge,” “Ouija,” “The Final Wish,” and Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.” Bell is best known for his role in the “Saw” franchise playing the terrifying John “Jigsaw” Kramer in all eight movies. The spine-tingling tale also stars Chester Rushing (“Stranger Things”), Erin Sanders (“Big Time Rush”), Mike Manning (“Teen Wolf”), and Judd Lormand (“SEAL Team”).
Strong word of mouth helped “The Call” become one of the top-performing horror films of 2020. It was a hit with both audiences and critics alike, with MovieWeb calling it, “A chilling tale of revenge and the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season as we head into October” and Dread Central saying, “From credits to the final frame, The Call leaves a lasting impact, an almost congenital terror that’s certain to break your heart and scare you senseless.”
“The Call” is a terrifying tale of death from the fall of 1987. After a tragic accident, a group of small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister couple. One by one, their worst nightmares quickly become a reality as they enter the realm of The Call.
“Being able to bring The Call back into theaters just in time for Halloween is an incredible opportunity,” said Woodward Jr. “From directing genre icons like Lin Shaye and Tobin Bell to re-creating the ’80s and developing this fantastical horror dreamscape, I’m excited to share some great stories with theatergoers.”
