Viewing Notes

5th feature (i think) for CadaverCade 13: FINAL WARS

There was a big short film block, not all are listed in TMDb followed by a recorded introduction by one of the lead actors of this movie, Ron Lea, who portrays the stalker in this. It was a sweet intro (apparently no one has ever asked him about this film).

So this movie Jef bought brand new on VHS then had Jason Coffman rip it to digital then cleaned up and color adjusted so it would look better. Given all that it looked fine, not great but watchable on a smaller window on my Macbook.

The movie plays like current day Lifetime movie. Husband mistakenly calls the wrong 1-800 sex line while on a business trip. The man on the other end gets angry bc the husband mistakes him for a woman. So the man (Ron Lea) stalks and torments the husband and his family.

It’s a solid tv movie domestic thriller.
