The Caller (1987)
5/10
bad ending
30 January 2021
A woman (Madolyn Smith Osborne) lives alone in a house in the woods. A man (Malcolm McDowell) knocks on the door asking to use the telephone.

This is a two person play with strictly two characters. The first half is a lot of dancing around the issue while revealing a few things. Something is off and I kept wondering. They must be connected somehow. Then the two of them go back into the world. There is an obvious solution to this premise. There is a way to wrap up this movie but the last act takes a really weird turn. It's an unexpected turn and it's not good. I can't abide by this ending.
