CrimeDramaThriller

A grim police detective embarks on a one-man crusade to track down a depraved sex maniac when a nightclub deejay receives a disturbing series of obscene phone calls. Finding himself getting far too close to the victim for comfort, the hard-boiled cop must track down the unbalanced pervert before he can carry out his sick threats.

VIBE

A grimy, unsettling dive into Times Square's underbelly. This film feels like a fever dream of sexual obsession and predatory fixation, wrapped in a gritty, noir-ish package. It's a raw, uncomfortable watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
