Odie Henderson House Next Door My response of "won't that sting?!" would have resulted in Anna hanging up on me, too, but I digress. Jun 4, 2013 Full Review Walter Goodman New York Times Karyn Kay wrote the dreary screenplay and Sollace Mitchell directed in the same spirit. May 21, 2003 Full Review Hilary Mantel The Spectator The plot proceeds in little illogical jerks, and the minds of the character move with infuriating slowness.

bobova s I thought it was kind of funny, with some nice moments of visuals and music. It was odd how vacant many of the roles were written, yet played out more interestingly than deserved; yet some of the side characters were just annoying. Peculiar how some routine interactions dissipated into nothing without explanation, and weren't exactly a red herring either. Some scenes were so jarring in their abstrusity, beckoned some qualification, but if willing to laugh along could be interpreted as suitable if you like to feel skewed and weirded-out. Definitely not great, but I've seen way worse and way more inexcusable. Would be great to watch while folding laundry or eating some chips or something. The ending was very beguiling and I loved the music and her enigmatic acting Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member B-grade 80's thriller. Had never heard of it, and I love 80's movies, so I was pleased to have a chance to watch it. Anna receives a dirty phone call. Mistaking the caller for her boyfriend, she agrees to meet him in a sleazy bar. While she is there, she witnesses the murder of a transvestite in the ladies toilet. Shaken, and realising it wasn't her boyfriend who called after all, she runs out after the incident and having been hit on by an intimidating man. It gets a little muddy from here - honestly I am not entirely sure it completely makes sense, but it did keep me watching. Needless to say, Anna gets sucked into the callers game and soon finds she is being stalked. I guessed pretty early who the caller was. Mostly effective little thriller from this era. Definitely had the sleazy soundtrack down, and all the shots of the trains in the dark going past Anna's apartment add to the atmosphere. Cast pretty much unknown (to me anyhow). I recognised Steve Buscemi only. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member it's all too preposterous for words. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
