Party Line (1988)

William Webb directs Richard Hatch, Shawn Weatherly and Leif Garrett in this erotic thriller where a rich brother and sister are crazed killers who stalk a phone sex chat line.

Starts very strong with nudity and incestuous psychos. Then it assumes you have blown your load and doesn’t do much else but hangout in nightclub parking lots. There is a Nancy Drew style babysitter who goes from potential victim to Leo Getz. We care far more about her and the shameless baddies than the cop and psychologist who get the spotlight. Hits its contractual runtime and ends abruptly with a whimper. Shaft turns up for one day’s filming.
