I was not sure what to expect with the film title, but, what I delightfully discovered was an amazing mix of horror, drama, mystery, love, and redemption. There are three aspects to cover.
First, Rachel Sommer, the writer, presented a story of lost love and desire for healing that I couldn't help but feel in my own heart. The story, without giving spoilers, so beautifully spoke to the viewer, that by the end, along with feeling incredibly scared and scarred by the thought of a captivating, evil presence in a cellphone, also allowed so much hope, that you appreciated the writer's intentions, and know beyond a doubt that this gem of a movie was written by a special soul whom has traveled far in the rich depths of life.
The cinematography by Luke Sommer stands by itself with one vista after another mixed in with scary techno horror swimming in spooky, dark, images and settings. Mr. Sommer captured natural beauty in one scene just to switch to the colors, backgrounds, structures, and provocative images that have scared us all. His editing brought every sense to the forefront of the viewing experience, along with the well composed musical score, where themes followed story lines seamlessly. The story benefited from Mr. Sommer's thoughtful cinematography details and expertise.
The actors were perfect in their roles. Whitney Rose Pynn and Justin Malik Jackson played the two main characters effortlessly. Ms Pynn showed a vulnerable, devastated young woman, but, also demonstrated believable strength and courage. Mr. Jackson brought out many emotions in his interactions with Ms Pynn, all with a unique personality lined with moments of humor, tenderness, compassion, and creepiness all in one! Jared Noble's role brought a believable, angelic, and tender relief to the ongoing horror.
I would encourage a close second and even third view of this film, as I believe there are deeper meanings that can be discovered when paying close attention, particularly in the "Cellphone" character, as I would describe the title.
Bravo to the cinematographer and writer, along with the actors, production company, and background crews who came together in delightful harmony to bring us this perfect Valentine's Day thriller, horror, and romantic film.
