The Calling (2014) - "12 Willing souls to sacrifice themself to bring back the one "
A Perfect Canadian crime thriller which went unnoticed and underrated. This movie is based on Christian Mysticism and beliefs which would give us nostalgic feel like watching Frailty & Angels n Demons. This also falls into a serial killing movie but definitely with a different motive. Below is the logic part of the movie about which it revolves but anything more about this will spoil the suspense element of it.
"Bible was composed around 400 Anno Domini and it had some Oral components as these elements were prohibited from being written down anywhere and it can be only spoken . It was shared among the closed Christ disciples as these were meant to be communicated only between higher priests and as once the blessing been offered , the listener became the keeper of it and the speaker scarifies himself for Liberare Eos ( Means "Sacrifice to set them free" ) "
As the killing starts to happen one after the other with a strange pattern , the investigation of the crime scene becomes very interesting as if we are watching Memories ( Malayalam ) and Zodiac killing. Somehow the detectives decode the message on each kill to track the killer & as they do ,a much larger n darker secret gets revealed. You would understand what means this word Liberare Eos while watching it and how its related to the murders. At the end they show a dead body disappear which leads us to too many questions relating to the prophecy and beliefs which is really stunning. The tensions it builds in the film is so cool n spine chilling and it makes you stick to the seat till the end for sure. I liked this movie a lot and this is sure definitely a one time watch for any thriller movie fans. Enjoy watching.
