bill t 09/14/2020 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. See more 09/26/2019 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!" See more 05/17/2015 WTF did I just watch? See more 02/15/2014 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. See more 08/13/2013 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! See more 06/15/2013 I can't believe that they didn't find this funny. Jeanne Tripplehorn, you are sorely missed. See more Read all reviews
