Andi Garett and Sarah Lane star as two young girls whose evening of prank phone calls goes awry when they say the words of the film's title to a homicidal maniac (John Ireland) who has just murdered his wife. With their parents miles away and the girls alone in a big, remote farmhouse, the stage is set for some creepy suspense as the killer comes a-calling. The plot thickens when the girls find themselves sexually attracted to the brooding, mature killer. This distant ancestor to films such as HALLOWEEN and the whole teen slasher genre is actually pretty mild by today's standards, with a strangely lighthearted music score and GIDGET-style antics leavening much of the tension. It's still pretty nerve-wracking, though, and contains a shockingly bloody shower scene that pays jet black comic homage to PSYCHO. Joan Crawford shows up and lends some scenery-chewing class to the proceedings as the killer's love-starved, blackmailing neighbor. [More]
