Movie Info

Three girls hope to pledge an elite sorority. As a final task, each must tell the scariest story she knows. The first is Dollface. When Tommy brings home an antique doll, his girlfriend is convinced that the doll is out to kill her. In Crimson Echo, a once A list star is lured into a film for which there might be no return. Lastly, Prank Call features three girls who overhear a murder on the phone, and the killer is now after them. Back at the sorority, the votes are in...but has someone taken murder to heart?

Not a single one of these vignettes are given sufficient enough time to develop and thus every minute of The Telling ends up feeling pointless.

Audience Reviews for The Telling

Jul 03, 2011

This really should be listed as a comedy as it's laughable that anyone would find this scary at all. The three stories told are all filled to the top with terrible acting and the special effects are worse than some of the things I've seen on film in a long while. Avoid this one. Beware.

This movie is too cheesy...and they told stories where they said they were true...but they are actually really famous urban legends. Poor acting and the music didn't fit in at all.
