Movies that feel likeThe Call (2020)

Connected by phone in the same home but 20 years apart, a caller puts a woman’s past — and life — on the line to change her own fate.

If you loved The Call, the closest films we have are The End of Oak Street (2026), Cube (1998) and Sound of My Voice (2011). All three share The Call's tense and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Rojo (2018).
