Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Los Angeles

Devil May Call is a 2013 horror film directed by American filmmaker Jason Cuadrado and written by Cuadrado and Wyatt Doyle. The film stars Corri English as Samantha, a crisis hotline counselor.

Production

Devil May Call was financed by Urs Brunner, the CEO of Boncafe and Angel and Bear Productions. It is his first American production.

Corri English studied with a blind coach to learn the mannerisms of the sight impaired. The production also consulted with crisis hotlines to authenticate the calling process for volunteers and how the centers are managed.

The film was shot in Los Angeles over the course of 12 nights. The office location where most of the action takes place was in a practically abandoned building which helped sell the isolation and general creepiness of the story. A nighttime schedule also allowed the production to work without disturbing the few residents still left in the entire building.

The entire project went from a story by Jason Cuadrado to a completed rough cut in six months. The film was completed and had its domestic premiere at Paramount Studios three months after.
