Strictly average movie

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

"Don't Hang Up" AKA "Don't Open The Door" The first hour of this film felt like two hours or more worth of watching... it dragged and dragged. By the time there was 1/2 hour left I really didn't care who lived or died - I wished they would all just die. I wished a big meteorite fell on top of the house with all of them in it and it was over with... but it didn't happen that way so I fast-forwarded the film to see this "great ending" (please note the sarcasm).Most of the film is just about this Amanda Post girl that hardly ever checks on her sick grandma - the supposed reason for going to the house to begin with. At one point, the doctor came and asked how long has the grandma been asleep and airheaded Amanda says "Oh since I've been here... about 12 hours" then she realized she really hasn't checked on her grandma in all that time - she's been too busy enjoying the house, answering the phone and talking to people that keep running in and out of the home.Really just a stupid movie with an airhead as the so-called star of the show - she's cute but a real airhead.1/10

****SPOILERS*** Mindless and ridicules horror flick with the young lady in red, her favorite color, the plucky Amanda Post, Susan Brackman, being trapped in her grandma's, Rhea MacAdams, creepy house who seems to be on her deathbed and about to check out, of life, at any moment. Were told that Amanda witnessed her moms murder in the same house 12 years ago and is now spooked in being there again. But there she is, looking after grandma, and confronted by these two weirdos the person or curator running the place Claude Kerns, Larry O'Dwyer, or what seems to be grandma's power of attorney Judge Stemple, Glen Ross, who for reasons known only to themselves don't want Amanda around.For the remainder of the movie we have, and it's no secret to those of us watching ,this crazy nut Kerns calling Amanda for phone sex and threatening to murder her grandma who's as good as dead anyway, if she doesn't comply to his sick demands. Judge Stemple who has other reasons in wanting Amanda out of the house is later a victim of Kerns in wanting him out of his way, like Amanda, so he can end up having the house all to himself.****SPOILERS*** With all this happening to her Amanda loses it and in the end joins her grandma' in becoming a zombie on steroids as well as murderess. And the person whom she ends up murdering, by bashing his skull in, is her concerned but not too bright, in not realizing what she's going through, boyfriend Nick played by Hugh Feagin who seemed to be the only sane person in the entire movie! Were shown at the end the person-we think- who actually murdered Amanda's mom 12 years ago and by also stealing and mutilating her favorite doll that eventually caused her to go completely nuts but by then, after what we went or suffered thorough watching the movie, couldn't care less whoever he was or what he did.
SlasherReviewer
I enjoyed this movie and you have to give it credit as well as it was made in the mid 70's. Black Christmas is a way better movie but that was from a movie genius Bob Clark. SPOILERS AHEAD...This movie revolves around a stalker who has hid himself in a house and makes obscene phone calls from inside the house. One obscene call I liked was "I wish those breasts were pushed up against me". No it's doesn't have the harsh language that Black Christmas did like "Little pink pus%@". If it wasn't for this movie Scream and the Ghostface killer in the late 90's would of never been thought of. Slasher reviewer gives this one a thumbs up and says if you a true slasher fan you will check this original flick out. Some minor gore as well to satisfy gorehounds but tame. Worthwhile 70's slash and hack!!!

Talk about dull: this southern-made "horror film" seems to reach >its highest peak of unintentional humor when the camera repeatedly zooms in on the killer's hidden face making a phone call to his next victim. Film looks as if it was shot on a $100 budget. Shame, shame, shame.
