The Calling (I) (2000)
5/10
Not the best, but watchable...

Warning: Spoilers
An attractive blonde falls for a handsome news anchor with a Brtish accent. Smitten at first, Kristie overlooks her new husband's odd behavior, hearing only his delightful words. On their wedding night, he brings her to a cave. She remarks that there is a full moon. Wrapped up in her fairytale world, she misses the first big clue, as he assures her it was the culmination of "years of planning, darling!" The film is a way to pass some time, somewhat interestingly, although it does not come close to "Rosemary's Baby" or "The Omen." These are old films, but timeless where it counts. I recommend this movie as a time-passer, but it certainly isn't scary. I recommend the aforementioned two movies because they brilliantly directed, as well as acted, and build up the suspense required to make a stand-out film in this genre. This movie does have a mildly interesting plot twist, if you are able to make it that far.
