โ€ข
A young man dials a phone number indicated in an ad in a newspaper and hears the Devil himself answering. The Devil offers to grant him every desire, but the boy refuses. His complexed cousin does not do the same and sees the opportunity to redeem his miserable existence and take revenge on his enemies. Directorial debut for Robert "Freddy" Englund who, however, does not take advantage of the opportunity given to him by directing a boring and unconvincing film that does not even offer a sequence worth remembering. Avoid.
