Chad Collins’s Top 10 Horror Movies of 2020

 

 

by Chad Collinsabout 19 hours ago

My Top 10 horror movies of 2020 are a bit eclectic, maybe a little bit like the year itself. Had you asked me what I would have likely had here when the year started, I might have said something like Candyman or Halloween Kills.

Naturally, as we all know, that is no longer the case. In a strange, roundabout kind of way, though, the delay of a few genre behemoths opened the door for some smaller titles, ones that– had the year gone as planned– would likely have been eclipsed by Michael Myers and Nia DaCosta. I encourage you to seek all of the following out if you haven’t had the chance to catch them yet, and in a broader sense, seek any genre titles out.

This year in particular has demonstrated the vagaries, complexities, and Gordian knots life is so often replete with, and no genre is better posed to unpackage and interrogate the most difficult of topics than horror. Ranked from 10 to 1, here’s my list of the Top 10 Horror Movies of 2020 and where they’re currently available.

 

 

The Call

Director – Lee Chung-hyun

 

There are actually 8 better ways to end your year. I have already raved about The Call at length (see my review here), so there’s little more I can say beyond: you need to stream this now. Park Shin-hye stars as Kim Seo-yeon, a young woman who finds herself on the other end of the line from serial killer Oh Young-sook (Jeon Jong-seo).

As the body count rises, Kim Seo-yeon must endeavor to stop a killer living in a different timeline– a timeline whose consequences reverberate in her own. The Call is tense, terrifying, heartfelt, and the most innovative time travel horror movie in years. Stream it in this timeline or whatever timeline you’re currently in– just stream it. The Call is now available on Netflix.

THE CALL [2020] NETFLIX REVIEW: WHEN PRESENT AND PAST COLLIDE IN A HOPELESS WORLD

 Somnolent Souls /  December 7, 2020 / 0 Comments /  439

 

‘A black cordless phone’, ‘an intervention’, and ‘festering jealousy’ are all that it takes for everything to go irrevocably downhill in Lee Chung-Hyun’s gothic mystery thriller ‘The Call’. In this twisty genre-bending ride the past is pitched against the present, submerged in a gore, gloomy, overly thought time-travel plot. The movie loaded with a tight storyline builds a hopeless world in a bold premise where desperation to alter the aching memories of bygone years inflicts mayhem on the space-time continuum.

 

 

Known for crafting some of the finest, bloodiest, and most exhilarating genre in existence, Korean movies have become a staple for the cravers of a horror-tinged thriller. And this time writer-director Lee Chung-Hyun strikes the chord with his latest offering. ‘The Call’ that cuts through time, if not space, is surprisingly Lee’s first feature film. His work stands as a tough contender, making amongst the finest thrillers on Netflix right now.

 

 

Although inspired by a 2011 Puerto Rican-British film ‘The Caller’, this genre hybrid avoids feeling cut-and-dried. The movie flaunts amazing visuals styles and camerawork by cinematographer Jo Young-jik with an impressive production design. The western graphics presented with Korean characteristics is well complimented by the high-contrast-dimly-lit palate and Dalpalan’s eerie background score that forms a distinctively menacing chill.

 

 

Lee Chung-Hyun’s film sets about with a phone call that connects two women; Young-sook from the past and Seo-Yeon from the present. Both belong to the same reality but live in two different time zones. In their newfound friends over a series of calls, the two women decide to try and change each other’s present.

 

 

 

Things start taking a 360-degree turn after ‘a proposition’ from the past. The cause-and-effect relationship between parallel past and present timelines is triggered by every word they speak and the actions they take. The tension increases as they engage in the battle of wits trying to outweigh the other.

 

 

‘The Call’ works so well as an intense mystery thriller. Its gothic vibe presents an outstanding line up of the stellar women-centric cast. Director Lee proves that female characters can be very powerful in various genres.

Jong-Seo Jun as Young-sook and Park Shin Hye as Seo-Yeon on-screen chemistry is rare and neatly balanced. With their intense and captivating performances, they carry the entire movie on their shoulders. They breath life into their characters in ways that refuse to be erased from our minds. Jun and Park take full command of every scene they are in. They are unflinching. The story doesn’t just box them into “the good” and “the evil”. Both have their moment of darkness.

 

 

Jong-Seo Jun (Burning) is the star of the show. One cannot help but be in a state of awe with the sheer brilliance the rookie actress brings to the screen. Jun is splendid as Young-sook. Her character build-up is most convincing to watch as she seems effortless in evoking the sense of pity to pure repugnance and horror. The duality of her persona is more evident when she shifts from a mysterious extremely miserable and fragile victim to a merciless, brutal manipulator in a killing spree, with utmost conviction in a matter of a couple of scenes.

 

 

 

Even though the mystery thriller takes pages from a typical time travel flicks with a side of serial killer genre undertone, it stands on its own as director Lee puts together something that has never been done before.

The movie bears the slightest resemblance to Oscar-winning ‘Parasite’. Director Lee uses ‘The house’ brilliantly as a central theme. The frequently changing aesthetics of the secret-loaded house throughout the story offers an analogy of shifting circumstances and the psychological state of the characters. Hidden creepy bunker, wooden floor making snap-crackle-pop noises presented on the washed-out and foggy backdrop with aural suspense also reflects architectural rudiments of a typical haunted house.

 

‘The transitions’- the scars, house, people, and vehicles, thanks to the amazing CGI, is one of the most satisfying things to watch. With the intervention in the past, the viewers can witness the beautiful morph and its impacts on the characters.

 

 

‘The Call’ surely is not a light watch. The feeling of isolation, loneliness, and helplessness of characters are massive and sensed to a point where the movie feels claustrophobic. Starting with a steady pace until the first half, the movie gets wild as it barrels towards its conclusion.

The movie allows for complete audience immersion. As viewers, we get to sit in our emotions and fully experience the feeling of dread, happiness, and distress. The guile and maneuvering that each of them employs at different times in an attempt to change one another’s present is a major treat.

 

 

As the leads get into a one-on-one battle, it is intriguing to watch how their minds work. Young-sook and Seo-Yeon taking advantage of their timeline to retaliate against the other, efficiently utilizing the movie’s central theme. The fluctuations of the emotional and psychological states in the characters are unnerving. The movie will make its viewers constantly absorbed into their own ‘what next’ or ‘what if’ moments all through its runtime.

A LIGAÇÃO, A PHONE THAT CAN CHANGE REALITY

Changes in the past can drastically affect your present and future.

The Call | The Connection | Hangul: 콜 | Year: 2020 | Director: Lee Chung Hyun | Duration: 112 minutes | Available: Netflix

Warning may contain spoilers !

If you could communicate with someone from the past and ask for something to be changed, for a loved one to be saved, would you do it? And if you could, know about your future , when and how you are going to die, would you change it? Would you do any of these things without regard to the consequences and changes?

 

 

The performances in A Ligação are also another very good point in the film, which deserve to be highlighted. Surprising everyone again, Park Shin-Hye, plays a different role from the dramas, to which she is already accustomed. Shin-Hye delivers an excellent performance, showing an evolution and oscillation of an innocent girl, repressed and disgusted, through a childhood trauma, passing through a happy girl until she reaches a more mature woman, with a dark side, besides delivering, beautifully, scenes of tension and sadness. However, the biggest highlight is Jeon Jong-Seo .

 

Unlike his role in Burning (2018) , which is not very memorable, in A Ligação , his performance is sublime, presenting the character's mental imbalance, revealed little by little in the plot, as a red signal that things will get dark. Jong-seo delivers an innocent and suffering girl, who appears dark, with a psychopathic, frightening and manipulative side, making the suspense plot evolve considerably.

The soundtrack is used to increase tension and suspense. In addition to beautiful instrumentals, we have Seo Taiji and his frantic rock, to show the tone in the other half of the film. The scenarios and the color palette also contribute, alternating between beautiful scenarios, an excellent photograph, with vivid colors, for destroyed and somber scenarios, in shades of navy blue, gray and black. All of this changes according to the changes in reality.

 

 

The call is not so explanatory, it does not provide logical explanations for the communication between the protagonists over time, using only one phone.

The film does not end in an obvious way, having no need to establish a concrete and immutable ending, each one can have their own interpretation and opinion about what really happened.

The Liaison has a cast of famous faces, from names like Lee In (Goblin, A Korean Odyssey and Inside Men), Kim Sung Ryung (Are You Human Too ?, The Heirs, Believer), Oh Jung Se (It's Okay, not to be Okay), Park Ho San (Extracurricular, Prison Playbook) and others.

Call is available on Netflix .
