2020112 min7.5 / 10

A tense, paranoia-soaked thriller that uses a time-spanning phone connection between a psychopath and her past self to explore fate, identity, and the possibility of rewriting one's own darkness.

Connected by phone in the same home but 20 years apart, a caller puts a woman’s past — and life — on the line to change her own fate.
