Final Thoughts
Give a solid story and a fairly unique take on the slasher/thriller genre. Although unique however the murder by phone premise does not allow for much gore, or different ways to kill people, which may turn off some big time slasher fans. Does however provide a solid hour and a half of entertainment which plays up the mystery element.
