Original Title:

Call Me

Nasty, perverted thriller in which trendy photojournalist Anna becomes obsessively involved with an obscene caller. When she witnesses a murder and fails to report it to the police, she earmarks herself for rough justice at the hands of the killer and bizarre moral judgements by the phone sex-pest. Unless, of course, they are one and the same. Whodunit issues aside, this film has more fundamental problems. That such a regular member of society should fall for a random telephone stalker in such a manner is not, as the director might have it, shocking, but utterly unbelievable.

A rare point of interest is the early appearance of a kinda funny lookin' Steve Buscemi.
