When Michael Calls Review

Review of When Michael Calls (1972) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

A wonderfully set up premise that is surprisingly creepy for TV-PG made for TV horror that eventually twists around to an ending that, like in most TV movies, seems to answer every question in such a way that betrays its own mystique; it's dissatisfaction by way of satisfaction. Michael Douglas has a guest role here that plays more like a supporting one, yet still doesn't waste a moment as the older brother of the titular deceased Michael who is now inexplicably calling his Aunt's home nearly every day.
