The Caller (2011)



Somewhat borrowed the idea from Frequency and then made a fine twisted horror-thriller out of it where a ghost from the past seriously affecting troubled life of an young woman. The interesting thing I liked is that how they nicely carried the story till the end where the 'ghost' has a very little screen presence from start to finish. An elderly woman's creepy voice over coming from the other end of that cool old telephone set mostly done the job effectively. Liked the gloomy & dark setting of the film also. Overall, it was a pretty decent watch but I was expecting nothing particular but some freaking twists at the end where that old telephone set at least should ring one final time at the last shot.

Wasted on the Young (2010)



Pretty slow burn but a decent drama-thriller about the conception of always go with the 'common safe guarded Popular opinion' among today's youth.
