Review: We all make mistakes sometimes a phone number in a hurry typing needed us a room. At its heart is a small thing, an insignificant point in life, but the young model Jenny had no idea that accidentally dialed the number it will lead to a chain of strange, unexplained and simply horrific events.
The film “Dial: Help” 1988 is probably one of the most obscure film works by Italian director Ruggero Deodato. Despite the small budget picture, Ruggero Deodato managed to create a powerful and intense mystical horror in the best traditions of the genre, and now being able to saturate an unusual story, and directing a bright and interesting acting.
Certainly, the cast of the film does not possess a particular star rating, but the acting is at a very decent level. On the role of Jenny came through Charlotte Lewis add to the tape and notes of drama and sensuality, giving it a light erotic flavor. Among the minor characters stand out particularly managed only Mattia Sbardzha.
Renato Tafuri operator took the tape is fairly trivial, in the spirit of all the traditional horror, although the scene with the phone set is very original and hard.
Composer Claudio Simonetti decorated picture masterpiece and its incredible soundtrack, who masterfully injects it creates suspense or discharge its beautiful tints.
All fans of Italian (but not only) of horror films, I recommend this creation by Ruggero Deodato, and I hope you will appreciate the film on its merits.
