There he\u2019s set up a web camera for an unseen friend with who he\u2019s made the spectator for the meeting. When the beautiful call girl shows up, the John greets her with some reluctance, and of course a crowbar to the head, viciously murdering her. Of course, nothing is ever as it seems, and events unfold in \u201cCall Girl\u201d with a nice bit of karmic justice.<\/p>\n<p>While I kind of saw where the whole movie was headed, I still had a good time, especially with the way director Gevargizian\u00a0stages the entire film. Rather than a typically shot movie, we see the events unfold through the fish eye lens of the web camera, and we just know that whoever is behind the camera is probably now on borrowed time. \u201cCall Girl\u201d is a nice little slice of gory, gooey horror with great turns by Harvey and Risk. Director Gevargizian\u00a0is just full of surprises and neat ideas for these horror shorts, as they touch down on real world horrors, and twists them just a bit to fit the appetites of all horror fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Final Girls Berlin Film Festival runs every year from January 31<sup>st<\/sup> to February 3<sup>rd<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMidnight Movies\u201d Shorts Block Director Jill Gevargizian\u2019s short \u201cCall Girl\u201d watches like a short interlude you\u2019d probably see in a digital horror anthology similar to \u201cV\/H\/S\/.\u201d And I mean that as a compliment.
