4. Write a review of this movie.
This movie was a good movie; it held suspense and also mystery because the viewer does not know who is threatening Stu. There are no clues throughout the movie for the viewer to know what is going to happen. The acting was very well and the choice of actors was very well portrayed. The directing was very well done and the storyline was very good but the movie was also too short in my opinion. I recommend this movie to those who like suspense and mystery because it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering who the mysterious caller is.
