Don't Answer the Phone!

About This Movie

Don't Answer the Phone! really dives into the gritty underbelly of urban horror. The film’s pacing is a bit uneven, but it contributes to this creeping sense of dread. It’s fascinating how it mixes the voyeurism of a photographer with the brutality of a killer, giving it a unique twist. The practical effects are raw and visceral, definitely not polished but pack a punch. The lead, played by a lesser-known actor, delivers a performance that’s unsettling in its calmness, a stark contrast to the chaos around him. The radio psychiatrist subplot adds a layer of psychological tension, blurring the lines between sanity and madness. Overall, it's a raw slice of late '70s/early '80s horror that’s worth a look.
