Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
theironcupcake — ★★★½
“There simply aren’t enough sleazy, horny thrillers with a decidedly anti-cop bent … and hey, it’s the original Call Me title with a memorably erotic use of fruit!” -
Scott R — ★★★
“Loved this jazzy score, really lent itself to this one’s vibe very well. Also had some really nice cinematography in certain scenes. Technical aspects were probably my favourite part here.” -
SeriousEstelle — ★★
“Actually one of the worst scripted movies I have ever seen. It was always awkward, and often poorly delivered by a cast that had nothing to work with…” -
Brett Blake — ★★★
“A not-bad erotic thriller that focuses on blending kinky desire and danger. The plot … is basic Hitchcockian stuff, and that works fine enough as the vehicle for what the movie is really interested in…” -
Jesse Snoddon — ★★
“It’s just another awful New York story. Anna … finds her life changed when she mistakes an obscene phone caller for her boyfriend Alex and agrees to meet the person at a dive bar…”
Meta Description: A late-80s erotic thriller steeped in sleaze and suspense, Call Me follows a journalist’s descent into voyeurism, obsession and criminal danger after a mysterious phone call leads to murder and mayhem in New York’s shadowy underbelly.
