"There ought to be a Japanese horror movie about all this."
I actually tried to make something similar to that... my mom's cell phone # must have been recycled from an old #, because she kept getting calls from crediters, drug dealers, casino owners, all sorts of shady people asking for someone named Jenny. I tried to make a film about something similar: where the person getting the calls was curious enough to get involved in their scheme (in the script the calls were from the mafia, and Jenny [I called her Jan in the film] was working for them, not being hunted by them) and wound up getting killed for knowing too much. It probably would have worked well, but it was too chaotic: I was shooting without permits, with a budget under $25, and a cast made entirely of my relatives... to make things worse - I had to begin shooting scenes which I hadn't written the script for yet, because the opportunity to shoot in certain locations with certain actors only presented itself once. |
