Story
Lovely young Alicia starts receiving bizarre and disturbing phone calls after breaking up with her boyfriend Mike who she suspects is cheating on her with her twin sister Barbara Ann. Alicia meets and befriends amiable, but awkward film nerd Franklin, who alas turns out to be a total psycho with a penchant for carving up nubile ladies. But is Franklin the nutter responsible for those distressing phone calls?
Summary
Alicia's world unraveled when she caught Mike cheating with her twin sister Barbara Ann. Post-breakup, disturbing phone calls began haunting her nights. Enter Franklin, a seemingly harmless film buff who became Alicia's confidant. However, their friendship soured as Franklin's true obsession—carving up young women—came to light. While Franklin topped the suspect list for the chilling calls and a series of gruesome murders, Alicia struggled to discern if he was the puppet master or merely another pawn in her sisters' tangled web.
