Reception

David Gelmini of Dread Central rated the film 4 stars out of 5, writing, "Whether you happen to be an adamant believer of a hardcore skeptic when it comes to spiritual mediums, you will still probably be hugely entertained by Night Caller." [5] Martin Unsworth of Starburst rated the film 4 stars out of 5, calling it an "impressive melting pot of several iconic examples of the genre". [6] Jim Morazzini of Nerdly rated the film 4 stars out of 5, writing, "While Night Caller lacks the constant suspense of the best films of its genre it does have plenty of jump scares mixed in with the gore." [7] Film critic Kim Newman wrote a positive review of the film. [8]

Jason Delgado of Film Threat was more critical of the film, rating it 5 out of 10 and writing "Night Caller goes to the depths of absurdity at times, albeit not in a funny way. As such, it just comes off as a sick and strange picture with copious gore, but it does not send chills down your spine." [9]
