Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Michael O'Keefe Spine-tingling. A misdialed phone number pushes a lovely, lonely grad student into more terror than she could imagine. One wrong digit has Nicole(Monica Keena)interrupting a murder in progress. The killer(Kevin Chapman)continues his string of murders and taunts Nicole by calling her from each crime scene. The terrified young woman can hear the violence taking place over the phone and gets the idea that each murder may just lead the fearless killer straight to her own door ...soon! Miss Keena is a better actress than she gets credit for. Also in the cast: Tamala Jones, Ivan Martin, Lonnie Farmer, Tim McIntire and Emily Galvin.
Dr Jacques COULARDEAU The film is very good till the very last two minutes. You will really be thrilled and frightened by this film but you will lose tracks of any rational meaning at the end. After a while you will not know who is who and where you stand and that will be definitely scary. A good thriller provide you do not try to understand the end. The punch line will punch you down flat on the ground. Some will tell you that end does not provide you with a solution to the crimes. True. But at the same time some others will say the solution is quite obvious. And that's where I say all rational logic is lost. No matter who the killer could be how could he or she be in four or five states away from the original place, and at the same time with the girl who would be seized by a serious case of delusion. Then what is the role of the FBI profiler all along and even after the last crime? She has been a witness of it all and yet she completely goofed it off and down. That does not work. To know the killer at the end is not important but all the possible solutions have to be possible not materially impossible.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne, University Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines, CEGID
vampi1960 very original suspense film about a lonely young girl(Monica keena)who dials a wrong number by one digit and gets in touch with a serial killer at large.its one of those movies you really have to pay attention to.Monica keena who i know from Freddy vs Jason is a very good under rated actress.who should get recognized for her role in this independent but very good movie.i recently seen this on the sundance channel expecting a slasher movie,but was very surprised.and there's a surprise twist ending thats very Hitchcock like.this movie will give new meaning to the feature on your phone called caller id.i have to commend the sundance channel for picking fine movies like this,i would'nt call this so much a slasher movie,but a suspense in a class with Alfred Hitchcock's dial m for murder and psycho.I'm hoping to see more of Monica keena in more movies.although Freddy vs Jason does'nt look too good on her resume but remember thats how brad Pitt(cutting class)and johnny depp(nightmare on elm street)started.i loved long distance its a very good movie,and very original.kudos to Monica keena,she rocks.Hollywood take note move over Reese Witherspoon.
lukas1979 A dizzy girl gets calls from a serial murderer that send her from a moronic dumb blond (who can read), to a poorly acted and unbelievable anxious dumb blond, and then back and forth several times (with more incredulous screen presence in between). She is supported in our distress by what can only be described as cops worthy of a minor role in a TV soap as the dialogue blunders on and on, and we wonder if this rubbish will ever end.When that end comes, albeit with a weak twist, we are left feeling neither scared, sympathetic nor interested (or any other emotion apart, perhaps, from dismay). It turns out the whole first 1hr20 of the film were delusions and that the serial caller/killer is actually a voice in her head that helped her kill her boyfriend and his lover. The last 10 minutes attempts to tidy up the mess already made by rearranging all the previously unbelievable characters (from the delusion) as newly unbelievable characters in the 'real world'.The only point at which Monica Keena became a believable character as at the end in her catatonic state, lying still and staring blankly into space seemed to come naturally (perhaps this is what got her the job on the casting couch), although, to be fair, perhaps it was just an inept director and pathetic script that made her so bad.No attempt was made at any point to get us engaged with the actors or the plot and whilst 'the clues were there' as to the outcome, by the time the twist came we no longer cared. This could be a high school production.
