Dial D for Demons

About This Movie

Dial D for Demons is this curious little horror flick from 2000 that plays with the idea of media sensationalism. The film dives into the aftermath of a young woman's tragic suicide, exploring how the sensationalism of her story affects a group of holiday-goers who seem blissfully ignorant of the danger lurking around them. The tone is pretty unsettling, with a slow build that heightens the tension. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm and grit that add to the film's atmosphere. The performances are a mixed bag, but they carry an earnestness that feels genuine. It’s that blend of real-life tragedy with supernatural elements that gives it a distinctive edge. Not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely intriguing for the genre's aficionados.
