The new thriller, THE CALL (formerly THE HIVE) starring Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, and Morris Chestnut, has unveiled its first trailer and it’s got a familiar vibe to it. Directed by Brad Anderson (THE MACHINIST) the film follows a 9/11 dispatcher (Berry) who is drawn into a killer from her past in order to save a young girl. It’s an intensely cut trailer that hits all the beats we’ve come to expect from thrillers like this, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
It looks compelling enough, even if they reveal every story beat in the trailer, and Berry looks amazing as always. Could it be a potential return to the limelight for the actress?
Check it out:
This one could go either way, I think. It could be a forgettable cookie-cutter thriller or a crowd-pleasing jaunt. One thing is for sure, though, and that’s that Berry could use a hit.
THE CALL dials in to theaters on March 13, 2013.
