A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A serial killer is listening in to his favorite radio show during Halloween, hosted by DJ Roxy who regales her audience with various tales of horror stories, both from her and other callers, cue anthology. The first about an adulterous one-night stand was utterly predictable and forgettable. The second about a couple staying in was marginally better and I enjoyed it somewhat, better acting as well. The third features a engaged woman alone while her future husband is away on business while something lurks in the basement is a bit of fun, if a tad stretched out. The last one suffers similar pacing problems as the previous story, but the tale of a dead wife he keeps coming back is probably the best of the bunch.All in all, not bad for a low-budget horror film despite a less than great start. Definitely have seen worse anthologies.Eye Candy: Tina Krause bares all, Pooyah Mohseni shows full frontal, Nathalie Bryant provides T&A, Darlene McCullough gives brief butt, and Rebecca Rose McCain shows her left boob

Tonight I was treated to a rare experience. A Double Feature. Even more rare was that they were both Horror movies and I was able to meet with the Director and some of the cast before and after the movies. AND EVEN MORE RARE THAN THAT I didn't spend $1000 just to get in the door. Movie prices are scarier than the most of the "Horror Flicks" I've seen. This film, "When Death Calls" by Yellow Ape Productions was very reminiscent of the old HBO series "Tales From The Crypt". It was a "Fun" horror movie experience. Similar to movies like "Planet Terror" (with an old style Cinematography)and or "Zombie Land" because it also refused to take itself "TOO" seriously. If you just want a good laugh and if you're "Jumpy" a good scream. I truly believe you would enjoy this movie.

I recently had the privilege to attend a theatrical screening of this film. Right off it was obvious to me that Jim Haggerty loves what he is doing. He put great care into the making of When Death Calls. While there is some devious humor, it is never to the point where it distracts from the horror or destroys the viewer's suspension of disbelief.Characters are developed so that their individuality stands out. Of course no matter how well written a script may be, the characters cannot work without strong performances by the actors and actresses involved. Mr. Haggerty was wise to have cast Suzi Lorraine in a lead role, but everyone put in their best effort. Actress Nathalie Bryant had a role not everyone could pull off, yet she made it work wonderfully.Writing this as someone who grew up on Amicus anthology horror films I can recommend it to anyone else who is a fan of the genre. The film is full of surprises and beautiful women, well edited and well paced. I look forward to seeing more of Jim Haggerty's work.

This is a really fun anthology of scary stories. Lots of dead bodies, blood, creatures in the basement and old school things going bump in the night. Unlike the new horror films that are more like torture tales, this has fun - and downright scary - elements that I've always loved in horror: there's a monster story, a killer's-coming-to-get-you-how do-you-run-away? tale, a super natural thriller and more (sorry for being vague, I don't want to give away the plots). The tales are very well told with some superb acting, a soundtrack that gives you all the right creeps and jolts, and some nice flashes of blood and gore.
