The Deadly Call (1996)

In this Egyptian stab at the horror genre, Soheir is a wealthy and reckless girl who is bored by her family problems. To entertain herself, she passes the time by calling random phone numbers and playing pranks on whoever answers. One day, she calls a man who has just murdered his wife out of greed for her money. Unaware of the real situation, Soheir tells the man she saw everything. Not knowing what she is getting herself into, she calls him several more times and demands that he pay a stately sum for her silence. He agrees, but only to get her to meet him. Soheir enlists the assistance of her cousin Faten, who works as a journalist. But when Faten realizes the gravity of the situation that her cousin has become involved with, she tries to help her as the dangerous game escalates. Written and directed by Yassin Ismail Yassin, son of the Egyptian 'King of Comedy' Ismail Yassin, and features Rania Fareed Shawqi, Abel Muhsin Saleem and Emad Masri.
