Roland (Douglas Epps) is a shock radio host on a late night call-in
show, someone who has absolutely no filter and loves to insult his callers
- something he has become famous and popular for, so his show's
transmitted all over the country. Of course, his behaviour on the air is
triggered by a deep-rooted rage and self-hatred. And today, Roland has an
especially strong reason to be enraged, as his estranged wife Claire (Jane
Plumberg) stops by the station to hand him the divorce papers, something
he has dodged for weeks now. He tries to have his mini-revenge on her by
dragging her on the air and trying to humiliate her in front of his
audience, but then he gets a call from a guy calling himself the Outsider
(Jack McCord) that puts everything in perspective, as the guy states he
needs to sacrifice 8 women tonight as part of some Satanic ritual. Now
Roland believes, or at least wants to believe, it's a hoax, but his
producers Jessica (Rachel Lagen) and Jason (Alexander Brotherton) are not
too sure and call the police. But the dispatched detective (Antwoine
Steele) turns up dead, suggesting that the Outsider is already in the
building. What's worse is that producer Jessica, with whom Roland had a
fling, has her own dark agenda. And then why are there two caged and
chained up girls kept in utility room at the radio station? And when it
seems like the night couldn't get any worse, it of course does ... Now
this is a film that's not for the faint of heart as it's pretty much as
loud as its protagonist, it features some pretty explicit (and pretty
well-handled scenes of blood and guts and doesn't shy away from anything.
But that said, Final Caller is more than just a mindless gorefest
as it's well-structured, cleverly written, and even though not all the
characters (especially protagonist Roland) are exactly likeable, they're
well fleshed out and relatable. That all said, it is a movie that's at
times a little strong to stomach, but if visceral horror's your thing, you
should definitely give this one a try.
