I caught this at the London Sci-Fi festival where it went down a storm. It has a great premise (a group of gamers take part in a life-like virtual reality game like Call of Duty but things are more dangerous than they first appear...). The production design and direction are superb even with a small budget and there are strong performances throughout. Great fun all round – highly recommended!

I really loved this film :) I saw it in the cinema and it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! It is full of cool twists, sprinkled with a good dash of humour too. (I didn't guess the plot twists which is always a sign of a good film for me!) Think Hunger Games, meets the Matrix - If you like sci-fi you have to see The Call Up!!

I really didn't know what to expect from this but I have to say I really liked it! The suspense is on the edge of your seat stuff. Very timely with all the hype around VR at the moment. If you're in to your sci fi it's a must see...

An impressive film recommended to passionate gamers and for sci-fi buff. The apparently simple premise has the immediacy of a lost classic: pure, quite gripping and brilliantly transposed on screen. A little cult movie that deserves to be seen!
