I don't know about you guys, but Morse Code confuses me to a practically scary point, so if they ever make a horror film involving telegraphs, then I'll either laugh hysterically or scream whenever I hear that Dire Straits song, you know, more than I usually do. Honestly, phones aren't hugely prominent in this film, although it is probably the first film that made phones scary, which should tell you just how talented Hitchcock was as a suspense filmmaker, because he somehow managed to make phones suspenseful. Well, it was unique in 1954, but now, at a time where "The Simpsons" really did release an episode titled "Dial 'N' for Nerder", I reckon it's safe to say that it's not as much fun anymore, so they may as well bill this as the sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train", "When a Stranger Calls".

Oh please, that's not too much cheesier than the actual title here, which I still give a lot of credit for being unique.

Well, that's only six digits so if you're looking for a good time, then that girl just gave a wrong and profoundly disturbing number. To receive further assistance, please call 1-800-MURDER.
