'Shattered Silence' AKA 'When Michael Calls' (1972) Craig (M. Douglas) has lost his brother Michael 15 years prior to the beginning of the story. Michael begins to call Helen (E. Ashley) on the phone, seemingly in distress every call. Doremus (B. Gazzara) is Helen's ex-husband or soon to be ex - but he is there to help Helen through this terrible nightmare and to solve the mystery of Michael.
Micheal calls Helen "Auntie" which is odd. Craig and Michael are brothers and if Michael is Helen's nephew then Craig would be Helen's other nephew. *In reality Helen and Craig are just close to one another, friends - according to the Wiki article.* Why we are lead to believe that Helen and Michael are related/family and not Craig is strange in itself. Most every source says Michael is Helen's nephew or A woman (Helen) receives phone calls from a relative. - when he is not.
A good thriller - bizarre. Worth watching if you get a chance to see it. Those phone calls from Micheal will have you shivering. :)
8.5/10
