Distress Call has this intriguing setup where two guys crash on a barren planet, and things get real tense when an unexpected voice breaks the silence. Vince Eustace and Brian Patrick Butler deliver decent performances, pulling off the isolation theme well. The pacing is slow, but it builds a palpable atmosphere of dread and suspense as they grapple with their situation. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do create a gritty feeling that adds to the film's overall authenticity. It's kind of a niche piece that maybe doesn't get the attention it deserves, but there's something about that mix of survival and the unknown that sticks with you.
Distress Call has seen limited release, making it relatively scarce in collector circles. Numerous formats exist, but nothing particularly standout in terms of special editions or extensive bonuses. Its niche appeal and unique premise may garner interest among collectors who appreciate lesser-known sci-fi films that focus on atmosphere and character over spectacle.
