WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
It’s refreshing to see a female-led crime thriller every once in a while, as opposed to the standard male lead, so The Calling should not only benefit from an intriguing and haunting mystery but also a strong central performance by the always-reliable Susan Sarandon.
