The Caller (1987)

What an absurd ending
17 September 2022
This movie is just weird for weird sake. At first, there is a strong buildup of tension between Malcolm McDowell and Madolyn Smith characters. Both characters are so suspicious and weird I'm not exactly sure who's the actual threat of this psychological thriller actually is.

Then come the what in the world twist ending. You just wouldn't except this somewhat smart, gripping thriller suddenly swerve into a B movie madness, it completely switch genre. So the woman is a part of some experiment... but what is the purpose? Where is she? I think there is no logic to the ending, it just added to make your jaw drop.

I do like this thriller but I won't watch it again, just to pick hints to figure the purpose of the twist ending. There is no purpose, no theme, no metaphor... this movie just want to be bizarre.
