The Call (Korean: 콜; RR: Kol), is a 2020 South Korean science fiction psychological thriller film directed by Lee Chung-hyun, starring Park Shin-hye and Jeon Jong-seo.

Based on the 2011 British and Puerto Rican film The Caller, The Call revolves around Seo-yeon (Park Shin-hye) and Young-sook (Jeon Jong-seo), two women from different times who connect through a phone call that interchanges their fates.

[1] In 2019, 28-year-old Kim Seo-yeon visits her sick, estranged mother, Eun-ae, in a rural area.

Arriving at her rundown childhood home, she finds a decades-old cordless phone, and through it receives calls from a distressed woman who says she's being tortured by her mother.

Young-sook, however, is punished by her mother for her disobedience, and becomes resentful that Seo-yeon's life has improved while hers is becoming more miserable.

She warns Young-sook, who saves herself as her mother explains that she must kill her as her fortune reveals multiple deaths.

Young-sook taunts that they're the same when she reveals that it was Seo-yeon who caused the fire that originally killed her father; she had lied about Eun-ae being responsible.
