Best Movies with Phone Terror
These titles are probably the greatest movies with phone terror ever made!
Some of them scared the sh*t out of me, mostly because of their atmosphere (Black Christmas, The Ring, Black Sabbath, The Caller (2011)...), some of them are very intelligent (Sorry, Wrong Number, Phone Booth, Voice of a Murderer, Midnight Lace...) and most of them are exciting and entertaining.
