976 Evil

Hoax (Stephen Geoffreys), the nerdy teen hero of 976-EVIL, spends most of his time envying his super-cool, biker cousin, Spike (Patrick O'Bryan), when he's not being bullied at school or oppressed at home by his religious fanatic mother. Things take a radical turn when Hoax begins calling a toll-free phone number that provides daily "horrorscopes," and he becomes possessed by a demonic force that enters his mind and body via the telephone line. Soon he's taking violent revenge on all those who crossed him. The film is directed by Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger from the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series.

  Average 80's Horror
  
  This is a slow starter of a movie that chances are you will only be watching for notalgia. After the first half hour the pace starts to quicken.

  Jesus!
  
  Not so much a film as someone tripping over while holding a camcorder, I didn't think it was possible to make a film this bad, but I stand corrected. It was... read more »

  Tedious
  
  Unfortunately, Robert Englund doesn't cut it as a director in the way he shone as Freddy. This is a slow, and dated parody of dozens of other poor films in... read more »
