I saw this film at a screenwriting class I took earlier in the summer. The entire movie is very, very well played out. The opening credits with the rotary dial phone in the background with the opera music playing was moving and somehow quirky. The film being narrarated through a phone is similarly creative. It puts me in mind of The Count of Monte Cristo, only with more profanity and telephones.
The teacher of the screenwriting class mentioned to us after showing us the film that he worked as a set dresser on it, and alltogether Crank Calls cost around $50,000 to make. That's money well spent, damn it.
