The premise

Lovely young Alicia starts receiving bizarre and disturbing phone calls after breaking up with her boyfriend Mike who she suspects is cheating on her with her twin sister Barbara Ann. Alicia meets and befriends amiable, but awkward film nerd Franklin, who alas turns out to be a total psycho with a penchant for carving up nubile ladies. But is Franklin the nutter responsible for those distressing phone calls?

Horror Vault's take

After a messy breakup, Alicia finds herself tormented by a string of deeply disturbing anonymous phone calls — and that may be the least of her problems. A chance encounter with a soft-spoken film enthusiast named Franklin offers a welcome distraction, but his charming awkwardness masks something far darker underneath. With a twin sister, a cheating ex, and a potential killer in her orbit, Alicia has no shortage of threats closing in around her. This low-budget early-eighties shocker blends relationship paranoia with grindhouse-style menace.
