Blue Call

There seems to be a new trend of bad horror movies that go for abstract storytelling without actually saying anything under its supposed cryptic plot. My guess is they want to follow the success of movies like The Babadook, The Witch, The Lighthouse, even, to a lesser extent, the Moorhead-Benson duo. However, you quickly realize the director doesn't have what it takes to carry out the intention. The nightmarish life of paramedics is already an interesting concept for the horror genre, but what we get here is a boring attempt at a morality tale, mixed with Requiem for a Dream-like second part, but without the good acting. The constant nighttime atmosphere is a welcome idea, but that's as far, as it gets. The character's actions make no sense and it's hard to tell what's even happening towards the end. You might as well skip this one and watch Synchronic.
