When troubled divorcee, Mary Kee, sets up home in her new apartment, she stumbles across an old telephone which she quickly falls in love with.

Over time, she discovers that the caller is a woman named Rose and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. However, when Rose claims to be calling from the past, Mary begins to question her motives.
As Rose’s phone calls become ever more disturbing, Mary’s sense of terror escalates. Feeling haunted in her own home, she cuts all contact with Rose. Enraged by Mary’s betrayal, Rose threatens to exact her terrible revenge. Not on Mary in the present but on Mary as a child in the past. Mary finally realizes that she will have to kill Rose in order to save herself. But how can she kill someone living in the past and what happens if she fails?

A bit twisted but otherwise an ok movie

Quite good. Very dark and dingy and very weird but I liked the concept and found it quite intriguing although it wasn't too hard to work out what was going on. I agree with D.M. Suitable mainly for those who love dark horror.

Quite a well-plotted film for a 'tres noir' horror-thriller and typically, of very darkly-themed horror, there's that nasty twist at the end. For lovers of dark horror only, I would suggest, but overall a very well made film.

Just ok, You can work it out fairly early on.
I would give it 2 and a half stars if I knew how to do a half!

Found this to be a very strange, dark story with a hard to follow storyline, didn't help that I expected Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton - True Blood) to sprout fangs and bite 'Mary' on the neck any minute. . . . . . still not sure if it was 'Mary's' life portraying art and vise versa or a story of history repeating itself? ? ? ? ?

Weird movie! Didn’t really understand what was going on, was all right to watch to try and work out the plot but the ending didn't really give what the plot was!
