The film "The Call" was watched for a long time, somewhere in the early 2000s and after that several times revised. The topic was then more than familiar, exploited the theme of the “second coming”, in particular, the coming of the Antichrist, just everyone who was not lazy: writers, screenwriters, and directors. How much on this topic was created only in the late 90s and early 2000s. The film "The Call" is no exception in this regard. However, the screenwriters went for a fundamentally new feature: they launched the Antichrist into the body (and mind) of an eight-year-old child. The boy first began to itch his chest at the place of the cross, then his mother saw in him supernatural abilities and, at the same time, incredible cruelty. The boy, despite his angelic appearance, could kill a man with just a glance. And now my laudatory ode to the performer of this "absolute evil with an angelic face" - Alex Roe, then a nine-year-old boy. Little Alex surprised me and surprised me. In my opinion, he surpassed all adult colleagues on the set in acting (in fact, after 23 years, you can say that then he surpassed even himself, adult Alex). First of all, he really made himself afraid, which is difficult with such an angelic appearance. Secondly, what they did with him on the set: first they were crucified, then drowned, and then they put him in the coffin and covered him with a lid, and he just played his role, and not at all childish, despite his very young age, brilliantly embodied the image of Dylan St. Clair in front of the camera. There was absolutely no emotion to his place. For Dylan St. Clair's image, I'm a fat-plus five. For a new feature with the Antichrist-child - 5 points, but for an ordinary topic - my hard three. My overall score for the film is 5 out of 5.
