Full Plot Details

Hazel Micallef is the senior officer in the Fort Dundas, Ontario Police Department. Once having tried to commit suicide and a resulting chronic back injury are the reasons she will never be promoted, the position of Commanding Officer, of which she is acting, having been vacant for some time. Hazel self-medicates to dull the emotional and physical pain. Relatively young and inexperienced but enthusiastic Ben Wingate transferring from the Toronto Police Department to join her and the only other detective, Ray Green, coincides with the first homicide in Fort Dundas in four years, the victim aged Delia Chandler, a friend of Hazel's mother, retired judge Emily Micallef with who single Hazel lives. Delia's throat was slit, but the coroner is able to determine that the murderer posed Delia's mouth post-mortem, with the time for rigor mortis to set in meaning that he/she had to hold the mouth in place for upwards of an hour. With two subsequent murders in nearby communities with similar oral contortions leads to Hazel believing they are dealing with a serial killer who did not want to be caught, the reason for committing the murders in different jurisdictions. Ben is able to discover that there have been similar murders across the country. With some emerging evidence, Hazel consults Catholic priest Father Price, further leading to the thought that the killer is working on a ritualistic religious mission with more victims to come. With Hazel's own history and situation, it becomes a personal matter between her and the killer, arguably more for the killer than for Hazel herself.

Movie Reviews

CinemaDope - 8/10 by Glenn LovellMore than 'Fargo' meets 'Se7ven' ... Sarandon's portrayal of the surly, embittered small-town police chief is so assured and nuanced, we'd welcome a Hazel Micallef mystery franchise.
New York Times - 8/10 by Ben KenigsbergPreposterous as it is, The Calling remains stubbornly suspenseful until near the end.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Melissa MaerzThe Calling shares a little too much with atmospheric TV mysteries like "The Killing" and "Broadchurch": the hard-living female detective, the cloudy weather, the small-town existentialism.
Contactmusic.com - 7/10 by Rich ClineDark and haunting, this Canadian thriller has an offhanded style that balances a grisly mystery with real-life humour, plus characters who are easy to identify with.
Movie Talk - 6/10 by Jason BestThe outcome is shrug-worthy rather than shocking.
Sky Cinema - 6/10 by John NugentIt's handsomely shot, filmed with a crisp, chilly edge and plenty of natural light. But the visual realism locks horns with a ruinously predictable - and increasingly silly - narrative.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by David HughesIf TV had a Saga Channel, this intriguing, if never quite gripping, serial killer thriller would play on a loop, in between reruns of Matlock and NCIS.
Total Film - 6/10 by Ken McIntyreMore character-driven than gory, The Calling is a slow-burner, but it's laced with pitch-black humour and appealing character quirks.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Pete Vonder HaarThe Calling breathes new life into a moribund genre by touching oft-ignored themes and offering a bit of introspection to go along with the obligatory slashed throats and biblical portents.
Blu-ray.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfConsidering all the clichés that pound serial killer features into submission, it's refreshing to see The Calling comfortable with a concise cap on a surprisingly absorbing story.
