The Calling (2000) This fast paced horror mystery thriller set on the Isle Of Man is nothing original but it has the balls to go into much darker and daring territory than more mainstream films of a similar bent (involving satanists and the antichrist) would be prepared to. The lead character is extremely annoying but a supporting role from the always a pleasure to watch, Alice Krige keeps you glued to your seat. More violent and dark hearted than gory but that is fine in this context plus there are some genuinely harrowing scenes involving the antichrist kid. Definitely recommended.
