(Telephone)

The life of a telephone line told through a chain of 72 international phone calls. Starting with a toy phone that wants to possess the soul of a child and ending with a psychopath who ends up destroying this long chain of phone calls.

Directed by Jerzain Ortega, (Telephone) leans on a strong ensemble — Helene Sánchez, Erick Blackmer, Erika Magaña Euroza — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2023.
