THE CALLER (1987) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Arthur Alan Seidelman
Malcolm McDowell, Madolyn Smith
A woman's cooking dinner by herself in a house out in the woods when a guy shows up at the door asking to use the phone because he's had car trouble out on the road. What follows is a two-person psychodrama that keeps you guessing to the end. The woman seems a little unstable, and the man could be a manifestation of that, or he could be the devil, it's hard to say. What's going on here, anyway? And what kind of game is this? Will the woman win on points, or will somebody end up dead? It's a mystery, but if you feel like giving it a shot, here's a tip: Never trust Malcolm McDowell.
