Netflix has a new #1 movie – and it’s given a new lease of life to an overlooked thriller.
The Call, a 2013 thriller starring Halle Berry as an emergency operator dealing with the kidnapping of a teenage girl, is currently the most-watched movie on Netflix in the US.
In response to the news, Berry said on Twitter, "….so ‘The Call’ is the No. 1 movie on @Netflix right now, nearly 10 years after its release. Are y’all OK?"
The Call was a modest success at the box office upon its release, garnering just shy of $70m. The critics were similarly cool on the release. It’s at 44% - officially ‘Rotten’ – on movie aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, though it fared a little better with audiences at 65%.
"The Call on Netflix was a phenomenally made movie with a shitty ending," lamented one viewer. Another said, "My god this is one of the scariest (in a thrilling sense) movies I've ever seen."
One wrote, "I love that Netflix put The Call on their platform, I forgot how amazing this movie is.” Hilariously, some assumed it was "something new" – proving that Netflix can give a second chance on streaming to even some of the most forgotten movies.
