“The Call” (* out of four) was an appallingly empty and derivative time-waster set for no particular reason in 1987 in which a group of bratty friends (Chester Rushing, Erin Sanders, and others) are led to the house of a horrific couple (Tobin Bell and Lin Shaye) and soon realize their lives are in danger and they have to fight their way out to survive. Bell sleepwalks his way through more-or-less playing Jigsaw again while Shaye could play this creepy role in her sleep by now and this dreary drivel could put anyone to sleep. Hang up on this wrong number.
