Review of Hotline

Hotline (1982 TV Movie)
8/10
Enjoyable Made For TV Thriller
25 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Lynda Carter of Wonder Woman fame is excellent as Brianne O'Neil, an art student and bar tender who is convinced to help out as a volunteer at a hotline centre run by psychiatrist Justin Price, Granville Van Dusen.

Soon after she begins to receive creepy phones calls from The Barber.

Hotline really does channel the old Giallo films. The creepy voice over the phone, the young woman attempting to work out who it is. The trail of dead female bodies, the twisted riddles, all that's missing is the music score by Goblin.

It keeps the mood and and suspense the whole time even though it's a made for tv movie. The acting is good and the cast as a whole does a great job. Hotline is a good 1980s movie.
