About This Movie

976 (1987) explores the boundaries of intimacy in a rather quirky way. The film conjures a bizarre atmosphere that’s both eerie and amusing, with a kind of surreal take on phone communication, playing with the idea of sexual fantasies through a mystical phone line. It has some interesting practical effects that were typical for the late '80s, and they add a unique flavor to the narrative. The pacing feels a bit off at times, almost like it’s taking its time to unfold, which can be charming yet frustrating. Performances range from earnest to kitschy, but that just adds to its distinctive charm. It’s one of those oddities that sparks conversation and curiosity among collectors.

976 has seen limited releases over the years, making physical copies a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. Most likely found in VHS format, it’s not often talked about in mainstream circles, which adds to its underground appeal. Fans of 80s genre films and oddball cinema show a growing interest in this title, as its unusual premise resonates with those who appreciate the eclectic side of filmmaking.
