See you on the other side

Warning: Spoilers
Christopher Michael Mitchell (Chester Rushing ) is the new kid in town. The real reason for the move is revealed late. Chris meets Tonya (Erin Sanders ) who he follows around because he is a male and she is not. They also hang out with Zack (Mike Manning) and his side kick brother Brett (Sloane Morgan Siegel ). They believe Edith Cranston (Lin Shaye) was responsible for the death of Tonya's sister a few years ago. They decide to throw stones at her house, again. Chris goes with but does not play. Lin Shaye kills herself and leaves the four kids money. All they have to do is stay on the phone for a minute, a phone at the end of a dimly lit hall.

The film takes place in 1987 because cell phones have screwed up the genre. I liked the horror aspect of it. While not unique, it was freshly done and with Lin Shaye. I could not imagine a person more fitting for the role. I need her on my answering machine.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
