Michael has apparently been dead for 15 years. So how could he possibly start phoning his sister, Helen (Elizabeth Ashley), after all this time? Plus, the voice sounds just like the young Michael--not some adult. It's weird and hard to explain. What's weirder and harder to explain is that after these calls, folks start to die--with each call, a new dead person! On hand to help her are her ex-husband (Ben Gazzara) and other brother (Michael Douglas).
In many ways, this is like the "Twilight Zone" episode "Night Call" and this show surely must have influenced the writer of this film. However, fortunately, it is different enough and enjoyable on its own. A silly and fun little horror film--just the sort of thing at which the "ABC Movie of the Week" excelled at making. Well worth seeing.
