A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Spoiler alert. It's a taut, at times gripping, thriller with a limited but well spent budget. The cinematography is solid and not a little stylish. The production design is quirky (vertical fish tanks) and plays with an emotive color palette. The leads are attractive and effective. One sequence, however, belongs in the pantheon of memorable screen moments. It involves a a stranger's phone call, an orange, a beautiful woman and a very surprised observer. The audience squirms in embarrassment. Friends who have viewed "Call Me" still leave single oranges as gifts to others in the know. It's not in the same league as, say, "Don't Look Now", but it's definitely worth your time.

'Call Me' is a worthy b-grade thriller for nostalgics. Set in New York City, it is very 80s, replete with a character resembling Iona of Pretty in Pink, and a saxophone-rich soundtrack resembling some of the music heard in Desperately Seeking Susan.Patricia Charbonneau plays main character, Anna. One evening, she receives a phone call from a man who she thinks is her lame boyfriend, Alex (Sam Freed), telling her to meet her at a neighborhood bar. Turned on by his surprising kinkiness, she accepts the invitation. But, while there, she witnesses the death of a transvestite at the hands of a dirty cop looking for money that he was supposed to be given. This puts her in the middle of a world of trouble, and soon enough, her life is threatened for having inadvertently intervened in a scheme involving the dirty cop, double-crossing henchmen (which includes a very young and very pale Steve Buscemi), and what I presume to be a mob boss. She assumes that there is a connection between those involved and the seductive voice on the telephone who she once thought was her boyfriend.The movie is riddle with twists and a few unconvincing plot holes, but it is well paced and a better title for the 80s b-thriller genre.

"Call Me" is all about Anna (Charbonneau) who is smart enough to be a NYC newspaper columnist but not smart enough to hang up on an obscene phone caller. A lame B-flick which smacks of indieness and amateurish autuersmanship features a mediocre performance by Charbonneau, Strathrain for a heartbeat, Buscemi in a bit part, poor production value, and a hokey script/screenplay. Just more flotsam bobbing on broadcast. (C-)

This movie start out with Anna receiving a mysterious phone call that will eventually lead her into a world of intrigue, duplicity, and murder. This movie is very stylish and suspenseful. Patricia Charbonneau is a standout as the gutsy Anna.
