OVERLOOKED TELEFILM: WHEN MICHAEL CALLS (1972)

The John Farris thriller made it to television in this Philip (The Waltons, Fantasy Island, Falcon Crest) Leacock-directed made for TV flick.  Ben Gazarra, Elizabeth Ashley, and Michael Douglas combine their talents to make this nerve-shattering picture of a woman who gets phone calls supposedly from her nephew who died fifteen years previously; with each telephone call, someone dies.

James Bridges (The China Syndrome, The Paper Chase, Urban Cowboy) adapted Farris' novel.

Enjoy this little chiller.
