The premise

A quivering voice begs to screenwriter, Joel Brandt, to pick up the phone on a message from his answering machine. Thinking it a prank, Joel deletes the message. The caller is found dead. Another caller leaves Joel a message; there is another murder...then another...then another. The killer has Joel's attention, and Joel has the attention of the police. Now the prime suspect in a series of murders, Joel discovers this psychotic killer has targeted him for a reason found within his body of work. Will Joel be able to re-write his ending, or be forced to pay the ultimate price?

Horror Vault's take

When struggling screenwriter Joel Brandt begins receiving chilling answering machine messages shortly before each caller turns up dead, he quickly goes from bystander to prime suspect. A calculating killer seems to know Joel's work intimately — and has decided to make it personal. As the body count climbs and the police close in, Joel must race to untangle the twisted connection between his own scripts and the murders. With his freedom and his life on the line, he'll need to figure out the killer's game before the final act is written for him.
