The Telephone (1988)
9/10
Into the depths of insanity

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie The Telephone and was very happy to be able to add it to my collection.

While many criticize it as being slow, boring, and uneventful, I found it to be a thought provoking look into the depths of insanity and loneliness.

The entire movie takes place inside of Vashti Blue's (played by Whoopi Goldberg) apartment as she gives you a look into the life of a person who, aside from the company of an owl, finds herself destitute of sympathetic or friendly companionship, which has driven her insane.

If you're looking for action/adventure, avoid it. If you're looking for something unique that will make you laugh and leave you thinking, then definitely watch it.

BTW, those that think it was horrible and that it's nothing but someone talking on the phone, obviously didn't fully watch the movie; the story has nothing to do with talking on the phone (yet at the same time it has everything to do with it).
