Father Time comes for us all in different degrees. Now one sees countless ads for wrinkle creams, hair colouring, replacements or surgeries linked to boosting confidence. The most offensive is getting children as young as twelve to use skin rejuvenation products. Anubys Lopez’s film Aged (2023) takes a huge page of countless films where glands are harvested and injected more strongly. The film uses motifs of Countess Dracula (1971) and Cocoon (1985) to bring terror to the onset of gray hairs and fading memories. More importantly, it is what family members would do to make sure the clock is forcibly turned back.
Aged (2023) is oddly constructed and misdirected in places with some poor direction missing key plot moments. Bright scenes of rural landscapes and a meeting in an antiseptic stilted coffee shop with Charles Bloom (Dave McClain), meeting with Veronica Grey (Morgan Boss-Maltais) to interview as a caregiver for his ailing mother.

Years ago, a friend once asked me what a large whisk broom that I was holding was for. The response was something to the effect of ‘What do you think it’s for?’ Certain things are obvious even if some people refuse to see what is happening around them, even in film. The Texas-made film Those Who Call (2023) is one of those works on the screen that show the obvious not with style or flair.
The picture is helmed by Cuban-born Writer/Director Anubys Lopez with a cast of Latino leads in the person of Yetlanezi Rodriguez (Sandra) and Angie Sandoval (Ana). The film opens with a prologue that many in the genre have seen before and for some reason, filmmakers continue to mine ever since Camille Keaton went on a fateful drive to Connecticut in I Spit On Your Grave (1978) that is the solitary woman who runs into vehicle...

Within a small-town coffee shop, a young woman named Veronica Grey (Morgan Boss-Maltais) meets with an admittedly desperate Charles Bloom (Dave McClain). He shares his need for a carer to provide 24/7 care for his elderly mother who has dementia. Believing the role will be temporary, Veronica agrees to take the job and moves into the house to look after Mrs. Bloom (Carla Kidd).
A sense of unease fills the house, from the petrified look of the gardener to the displayed pictures with people’s faces scratched out. As she’s left without a phone signal, Veronica finds herself with increasing questions. Are her sleepless nights down to more than just bad dreams? Has Charles really left the property to be with his family? And why have people been eagerly talking about her?...

Those Who Call opens somewhere outside of Whispering Pines TX, Population 53. Lauren (Reese Fast) loses her cell reception and a tire within minutes of each other. We know it’s going to happen because she was just saying how much she prefers driving to taking a plane. Trying to find help she stumbles across what looks like a cult performing a human sacrifice. Unfortunately, they see her as well.
Elsewhere, sisters Sandra (Yetlanezi Rodriguez) and Ana (Angie Sandoval) are taking a trip together and trying to reconnect after several years apart. Unfortunately, they seem to do more arguing than reconciling. Running low on gas and patience they stop in the first town they come to, Whispering Pines. Predictably, their stop in town gets them nothing but threats from the gas station’s owner...
