Hazel Micallef (Susan Sarandon) is a Detective Inspector leaving a rather peaceful existence in the small town of Fort Dundas, Ontario with her ageing mother Emily (Ellen Burstyn). She rarely has to deal with any major crimes in such a quiet district, but all that's about to change when she discovers the body of an old woman who had been brutally murdered. Alongside detective Ray Greene (Gil Bellows), they set out to investigate the vicious crime and discover a series of other bodies along the way which all have one thing in common: the mouths of each victim have all been physically manipulated to form, consecutively, the syllables of an ancient latin prayer of resurrection. They enlist the help of priest Father Price in a bid to uncover the intent behind the killer's deeds, and prevent the prayer from being completed with more victims.
This brutal thriller is a murder mystery directed by Jason Stone (executive producer of 'This Is the End') with a screenplay by Scott Abramovitch ('No Surrender', 'Prayer Hour'). It has been based on the 2008 novel by Inger Ash Wolfe (real name Michael Redhill). 'The Calling' is due to be released in the UK on October 10th 2014.
