Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Manohla Dargis L.A. Weekly Some of this is insulting, all of it is tedious. Oct 29, 2002 Full Review Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle It can't decide what it wants to be -- slasher fest, social satire or revenge comedy -- and ends up being an awkward goulash. Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Nadine Smith them. Carol Kane’s performance deserves praise in particular for pushing the camp icon to her most unhinged. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 1/5 Jun 29, 2005 Full Review Greg Muskewitz eFilmCritic.com Trashy, stupid, schlock-y, and completely dull. Rated: 1/5 Feb 21, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

bill t This caught me off guard. This movie, about an not-so-kilter proofreader provides a lot of ugly characters, equally ugly office environments, and a whole weird sick character development thing that I shant spoil for you. Loads of fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member What's with the universally rotten reviews? Methinks this film was ahead of its time & people didn't really "get" it in '97. It's clearly a satirical take on horror films/psychological thrillers. That said, the scariest part was Doreen's eyebrows. Contrasting this with "When a Stranger Calls" highlights Carol Kane's range, going from the victim of a deranged serial killer to playing one herself. And Jeanne Tripplehorn is excellent here too. I found myself rooting for the villain for some odd reason...likely because she was a victim herself (they alluded to child sexual abuse & made clear she was a social outcast with no friends). So the ending was a pleasant surprise. Memorable quote: "You and Daddy can go dance in Hell!" Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Steinways M Campy, quirky and fun... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/19 Full Review Audience Member WTF did I just watch? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of weird, a bit good yet not really smart. The characters are kind of silly for the most part, and the movie drags on for a while, but there is some interest. It doesn't quite hit any marks though, or maintain to any sort of memorability. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why everyone hated this so much, and I don't know how it slipped by me, but I thought it was a great horror comedy film!
