Village Voice
The Calling breathes new life into a moribund genre by touching oft-ignored themes and offering a bit of introspection to go along with the obligatory slashed throats and biblical portents.
70
The Calling is an absorbing, solidly crafted procedural thriller with a terrific lead turn by Susan Sarandon.
67
The Calling shares a little too much with atmospheric TV mysteries like "The Killing" and "Broadchurch": the hard-living female detective, the cloudy weather, the small-town existentialism.

There’s a potentially fascinating series waiting to be mined here, even if it is buried beneath bland visuals and a pedestrian script on the big-screen.

Preposterous as it is, The Calling remains stubbornly suspenseful until near the end.
