The Calling (I) (2000)
2/10
Not another anti-Christ movie, please?

Warning: Spoilers
This film is not exactly awful, but it is close. If you saw the omen films and enjoyed them, then you can safely give this one a miss. I wanted to like this film, but it rambled too much only to arrive at... nowhere. I had only heard of two of the actors in this film and frankly surprised that they would lend themselves to such mediocre parts. And the film was obviously made on a budget of $17.95.

The basic premise was sound, but the script did not follow through and the suspense was not there. Within the first ten minutes you figured out where it was going to go and it was all down hill. There are a couple of disturbing scenes which really did not add to the film and I for one and tired of seeing the skin-head as thug sidekick/follower/disciple characters that seem to inhabit these cheap horror want-to-be films. To be or not to be-this film wasn't.
