In Calls season 1 episode 2 titled "The Beginning," viewers are taken on a journey through time as various characters recount their experiences with mysterious and unsettling phone calls. Each narrative is presented in an audio format, with the caller’s voice distorted and fragmented, increasing the sense of unease and the feeling that something sinister is at play.
The first call is from a woman who is trapped in a subway station elevator, and as she calls for help, she begins to hear strange whispers and voices that seem to be coming from the walls. The second call is from a man who is experiencing sleep paralysis and is convinced he is being haunted by a ghostly apparition. The third call is from a child who has been left home alone and is terrified by a series of menacing phone calls.
As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that these calls are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a larger and more complex mystery. Threads begin to emerge, tying the different calls together and suggesting that there may be a malevolent force behind them all.
Despite the lack of visual cues or conventional narrative structure, "The Beginning" succeeds in building a palpable sense of tension and dread. The fragmented nature of the audio, combined with the surreal and often terrifying content of the calls, creates a disorienting and unsettling experience for the viewer.
At its core, "The Beginning" is a masterclass in audio storytelling, using sound and atmosphere to create a world that feels both immersive and claustrophobic. From the low hum of the elevator to the creaking of floorboards, each sound is carefully chosen to enhance the mood and build suspense.
Overall, "The Beginning" is a triumph of creative storytelling and a testament to the power of sound as a narrative tool. As the season continues, viewers can only hope that it maintains this level of quality and intrigue.
