¡No vayas a colgar!

I did have low expectations going in after seeing the trailer thinking to myself "how many more times can they do this type of film?" However, it wasn't as bad as I expected. The plot twist at the end was refreshing, but I had trouble with the two main leads - I don't feel they were cast properly and belonged instead in some low budget comedy, not a thriller of this caliber. They were very unconvincing. Even the rest of the cast were nothing special. What was the most impressive was the directing, editing and cinematography - the latter of which I felt was too good for this type of film (i.e. camera zooms from keyhole). The pace was slow, but otherwise this film was not too shabby. It's a 6/10 form me

I read the plot first before watch the whole movie. Then, I get interested and then I watched the whole movie. First 15 minutes was okay for me for the story, two boys prank a lot of people with terrible jokes. By the time the antagonist play the role, I intentionally started to feel like "it is a bit exaggerated". It doesn't make sense that the protagonist knows every corner, every single thing the two boys did. It could make a sense if this film tells us the story behind it how the antagonist set all the cameras, how he get into those two boys' life, house, and makes an acceptable rapprochement. The good thing is the ending is not disappointed and makes sense yet I'm not that satisfied with the sense of its technology in this movie (it's like the murderer is a god. Knows everything).

"Don't Hang Up" (2017) is an absolutely derivative horror movie that nevertheless manages to be halfway decent. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10.

We follow a handful of older teenage boys whose favorite avocation is perpetrating cruel prank phone calls and then posting them on the Internet. The horror genre's penchant for vengeance should make their comeuppance predictable. "Don't Hang Up" seems to borrow in equal (large) measure from the "Saw" and "Scream" film franchises, with touches of "Unfriended" (2014) and even "Silence of the Lambs" (1991).

Still, this was a halfway serviceable scary movie. There were nice moments of tension, and it held my interest.

This doesn't belong on anyone's must-see list, but it's a fun enough time-waster if you can't find a better movie.

Don't Hang Up, did remind me of some stuff seen in the early eighties. Could be a title of that era, but it isn't because it's all about the social media and what it could do. There are already a few flicks out about the social media about being unfriended and things go wrong, let this one be a revenge flick about doing pranks on social media and one of them gone wrong.

The way it was shot was really nice, doing effects like going through keyholes and windows with the camera so on that part it was okay. And the score did add towards the creepiness of this flick but of course it isn't all that good. It did remind me a lot of Saw somehow and it all predictable. You know towards the end who is going to kill who. In fact there are so many scene's that are predictable but still you want to see the ending. Even as you seen it in other home invasion flicks. Nothing is original but a big hurray to the director and writers. They did a good job because it didn't bothered me at all. Good entertainment and the red stuff is out there.

A nice flick to start off the Halloween night and it will do at many events.

There's not a good guy on this movie so you really don't care much for the teenagers getting targeted by the mysterious man.

You do feel bad about the collateral damage though.

One of the main characters tries to redeem himself by acting morally to try to solve the situation which is nice to see but ultimately it's kinda too late and you don't actually have sympathy for what he's trying to accomplish.

The acting was poor.

That being said, the plot is interesting and well executed.

The characters acted smart which was a breath of fresh air among the average horror movies victims.

The movie got me interested about what was going to happen next and who was going to win that battle and survive.

Ultimately I enjoyed the watch and the ending was satisfactory.

It's definitely better than the fat majority of "horror" movies available on streaming platforms and it deserves a better rating on IMDB.
