One of those films that you have to think to yourself - when everyone involved in the making of this film read the script, why did no one say "it's good...but..."
Private Number follows the tale of a writer struggling with both alcoholism and his second novel who is plagued by mysterious spooky phone calls and scary visions that begin intensify.
When he starts to get the local police involved it's revealed that there was a serial killer that they never caught and our writer starts to investigate.
In essence, Private Number is a great movie - the characters are genuine and believable, the plot intensifies, there are a number of great scares, you have ghouls as well as a whodunnit and also the human element that drags you in to the situation.
However....
There's a plot twist, and that twist is one that you'll get about halfway through the film which means by the time it comes it gives the whole film a different tone and well, it ruins it.
Up until that point it was great, but why didn't anyone stop that ending.
5/10 Masks.
