First Trailer for Brad Anderson’s ‘The Call’ with Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin

When first hearing the concept for The Call (previously ‘The Hive’) – a 911 operator must stop a serial killer from claiming another victim – it sounded more than a little bit naff. Throw in Halle Berry and the single-location thriller element and it began to get even worse, but the presence of burgeoning young star Abigail Breslin formed at least formed a little ray of hope. The first trailer for the film has now emerged online and, despite coming across a little straight-to-DVD, it really doesn’t look as bad as it could have been.

Check it out in theaters on March 15th.
