The film dives deep into some unsettling themes, focusing on the grim realities of a serial killer targeting women in the erotic phone line industry. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it ramps up tension effectively, especially during the phone calls – you really feel the dread. The performances, particularly from the policewomen Lorraine and Consuelo, are engaging; you can sense their determination mixed with a touch of vulnerability.
