Tracy's (Lucy Brown) a samariton working the suicide hotline when an
obviously off-the-hook stranger (Velton Lishke) calls in and accuses her
of being responsible for the death of his wife Hollie (Dawn Batty). Now
Tracy is used to her callers being on edge, after all that's what she's
here for - but this one soon gets personal, in a very real and very
gruesome way ... An extremely nice horror miniature, Hollie
really gets the most out of its self-limitations - some flashbacks aside,
it's not much more than a single phonecall, and the mounting tension
doesn't so much stem from the film's characters' tensions but from their
words (as well as what's left unsaid between the words), and apart from
clever writing and a strong cast, it's really a tense directorial effort
that at times sticks uncomfortably close to its actors that creates just
the right feeling of unease to have this little movie reverberate quite
some time after it's over. Recommended, actually.
