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?

Viewing Notes

First of a free double feature event held at Portage Theater with Larry Cohen in attendance to introduce the film and provide a Q&A in-between films. Intentionally predictable meta mystery. Billed as a “secret screening” of an unreleased film but it has been released internationally just not in the United States. Cohen is hoping it will get distribution after Lillard’s performance in The Descendants.
