The Caller (1987)

 

Interesting Sci-Fi Mystery-Thriller

This is a very interesting and weird science fiction mystery-thriller; you will not guess the ending if you are first time viewer. The sci-fi part of the show will not happen until the ending of the film.

Madolyn plays a woman who has a cabin in the woods, she's widowed and her daughter is away. Malcolm is is the 'caller' who needs to borrow her phone because his car has a flat tire. The two of them engages into a series of mind games with one another. Tensions builds between them while the audience tries to decide who is a murderer. Is the caller a police detective or a ghost of her dead husband? Nothing is normal, both characters act very strange. We never even learn their names.

This one has a strong sense of mystery and plenty of thrills for only 2 characters verbally sparing each other and earning 'points' when they are correct.

Good movie!

9/10
