DON T HANG UP!

The title of this film, Don't Hang Up, is a real thriller grabber with anticipated curiosity, yet it is more humorous than frightening. Elements are in place for some thrills, but the film has an interesting plot twist that anyone who has answered numerous phone calls trying to sell a car extended warranty can relate to.

Don't Hang Up is a short thriller film about a teenage girl who is home alone and being taunted by a caller who is on a mission to sell her an extended warranty for her car.

The story has thriller potential - the scenes are set up perfectly for a thriller, yet the thrill has a plot twist by a humorous antagonist. The cinematography is pretty good, although it has a few hiccups with some blurry images and lighting issues. The lighting is dim and there are shadows that sometimes block the protagonist's face (2:05 when she goes to the door). The music adds to the thriller/humorous twist, especially at the end, which sounds like a cartoon. Director Jordyn Diew also plays the main character in this film, which is a huge undertaking. My favorite part is the anticipation of what is going to occur following the knock on the door, the noise in the closet, and a quick glimpse of a masked person in the window. This is a fun twist on what we think originally will be a thriller.

The message of this film is perhaps that if you answer a phone call from an unidentified caller, you should probably hear them out on what they have to say. Just maybe, if the caller had been able to complete his sales pitch, he may have ended his quest to sell an extended warranty! I give Don't Hang Up 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Dominic D. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
