    An Okay Made-for-Television Movie

    This film opens with a stunning bartender named "Brianne O'Neill" (Lynda Carter) serving drinks to a few customers when one of them becomes rude and starts demanding sexual favors from her. Although she politely declines, he gets angry but eventually leaves. Later that night, just after a quick shower, a man named "Justin Price" (Granville Van Dusen) knocks on her door and asks if she is okay. Puzzled by this question and without opening the door, she responds that she is fine, only to be surprised to see him standing in her house near the sliding glass door. Although he tries to reassure her that someone else had apparently broken into her home through his door, recognizing how alarmed she is, Justin calmly stands by while she calls the police. That being said, it isn't until after the police arrive and conduct a quick investigation that she realizes he is on the level and, feeling somewhat grateful for his concern, she agrees to help out at a crisis call center he operates a few miles away. Unfortunately, not long after working there, she begins to receive calls from a man who claims to be a serial killer--and he has taken a personal interest in her. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay made-for-television movie which relied more on drama and mystery than actual horror. Similarly, although also advertised as a thriller, the suspense could have been more pronounced. Nevertheless, while it is certainly not a great film by any means, it was sufficient for passing the time, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

    Excellent

    A little slow, but, time well spent. Lynda Carter will easily hold your interest.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Deliberately bad 2 I don't want to see it 3 I didn't finish and or FF'd through it 4 Bad 5 I don't get it 6 Good 7 Great but with a major flaw 8 Great 9 Noir with moral.

    Where was this movie filmed. I can't find anything on this question.

    Above average made -for tv film with good suspense

    Hotline is a pretty good made-for television movie,that,if given a chance,can keep you on edge for the duration.I saw it when it came on the tube for the very 1st time.Lynda Carter does a fine job as the lead role, playing a character named Brianne O'Neill who takes a job at a hotline crisis center.Soon she receives calls from a man using bizarre, macabre nursery rhymes and calling himself "The Barber".He describes his murderous activities and inclinations over the phone, and the suspense builds as the killer closes in on O'Neill, all the while repeatedly reporting his deeds to her over the phone.This is an obscure film that's worthy of some attention,-rarely does it come on television.

    Lynda Carter after WONDER WOMAN

    TV thriller concerns Lynda Carter hot on the trail of a killer who communicates with her via telephone about his heinous deeds. It's a race against time as the body count rises and the killer comes closer and closer to making Lynda his next victim! Okay suspense, but the prime attraction is of course Ms. Carter, who made a slew of TV flicks after WONDER WOMAN was cancelled and looked good, even if you didn't buy her as a detective or social worker or whatever she was playing in any particular film.
