📱 Bad Connection (2023) — Every Call Has a Cost. And This One Won’t Hang Up. 📵🔪🕯️

The line is open. The caller is dead. And you’re the next number.

In an age of instant communication and vanishing attention spans, Bad Connection (2023) taps into our most primal fear: that what’s on the other end of the line… might not be human. Slick, eerie, and quietly unraveling, the film blurs the line between psychological thriller and supernatural horror — like The Ring crossed with Black Mirror on a dying battery.

Maya, a burned-out podcast producer struggling with panic attacks, buys an antique rotary phone at a flea market, charmed by its odd silence. But soon, it rings — and a voice from another time begins whispering strange, pleading messages. She tries to record the calls. They vanish. She tries to trace the number. There is none. And then, the voice starts knowing things — about her, about people she loves, and about events that haven’t happened yet.

As Maya digs deeper, she uncovers a chain of past owners, all of whom suffered breakdowns, disappearances, or deaths. The phone isn’t cursed — it’s a conduit. Each call passes along trauma, fear, and guilt like static across generations. Now, the line has reached her… and the only way to survive might be to answer one last call. Even if it means speaking to the dead — or worse, becoming part of the connection itself.

Anchored by a raw lead performance and drenched in analog dread, Bad Connection is a modern ghost story for the digital age — a warning that not all signals should be picked up. Some voices should remain unheard.
