One of ZP's Best

Hell-ephone is the story of a prank gone wrong backfiring on the right people: a bunch of snot-nosed teenagers. And their demented teacher.

I caught a test screening of this and found it to be quite more of a cop movie than a slasher flick, which was good in some ways but sort of lagged a bit editing-wise. I'm sure this wasn't the final cut, though the first half was nearly flawless in the editing department.

All in all, good flick for a Friday night with a keg and some pals. Not to mention there's boobies and stellar performances by Jim O'Rear, Billy Blackwell, and Katie Stanley (who is the hottest actress in indie film today).

I really dug Edison Death Machine--so catch Hell-ephone-- --before it calls you.
