Those Who Call
When their car breaks down at a small Texan town, two sisters must do everything in their power to survive a sadistic pagan cult.
Why it matters
A tense folk-horror descent into rural dread where ancient rites and sibling bonds collide in brutal fashion.
- Nails the creeping isolation and uncanny menace of Texas backroads with atmospheric, practical effects-driven scares.
- Centers on female resilience and sisterhood, anchoring the horror in raw, relatable emotion.
- For fans of slow-burn cult terror like *The Witch* and *The Ritual* craving a grittier, more grounded take.
- Some pacing lulls undercut the tension, but the unsettling cult dynamics and unsettling visuals keep the dread simmering.
