As I've said before, I like taking a chance on low budget independent genre movies, because you can find some real gems out there. However, you can also find some examples that aren't very good at all, and "Private Number" is unfortunately one such example. As I said in my summary line, the movie feels like it was made by two units, each working on one half of the movie - and not successfully. The first half of the movie is simply the central character going through one hellish experience after another with absolutely no progression in the plot at all. In the second half, the plot does start to progress, but often in a really confusing manner; it often feels like linking footage and vital explanations were cut out or simply not filmed at all. Toward the end of the movie, there is a major twist, but if you have seen your share of psychological thrillers, the twist probably won't be all that surprising. The acting is okay, I guess. And for what was a real low budget, the movie looks fairly decent (except for the cheesy "fire" sequence). But the story is such a mess that I suspect most viewers will stop watching before the first half of the movie has totally passed. And the remaining viewers who stick it out to the end will probably not find the resolution worth it.

who films a "horror" movie inside a house with a shaky cam documentary style? Yes, that would make sense if you were filming an episode of the office, because it is presumed that there are people following you around and may not have a tripod readily available. What is your excuse here?And this officer is wearing a Fake Moustache? Why? Why not just grow a moustache, or just not have one in the first place?And if you are going to barricade the door by nailing it shut, are you intentionally doing it as crookedly and shoddily as possible? BOARD UP YOUR WINDOWS PARALLEL! And you only did one door. If anything you are just blocking yourself in, and limiting your escape.OH WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! You called Best Buy's Geek Squad to "hack" into the police database? I had no idea that they provided this service! Private Number: Utter Garbage. And yet I am still watching it.

Okay ... so, I hated the first 1/3 of the movie ... boring ... tedious ... and I fell asleep, which is a first for me.The acting is adequate ... and the further I got into the movie I found that I had two possible villains, and just when I thought I had the right person ... I switched to my second choice, which was actually my first choice! Bingo!The two leads are actors (Nicholle Tom & Hal Ozsan) I would like to see more of, and Judd Nelson is usually a good choice as well. Which means I have no real complaints about the acting, or the special effects. However, what I do have a problem with is the ending ... can you say "overkill?" Towards the end, the screen goes black ... and this is where I would have made a change. I would have allowed the screen to remain black for two to three minutes ... then I would have let the credits roll. I believe my ending would have been a far better ending ... ?! For an audience to wait on the edge of their seats, then dropped, that would have been superb! But, with this film, the wait would have to be at least two minutes of cold, black, silence.I'm not so sure I will watch this movie again, but if I do, I'll skip the first 1/3.

A series of cryptic phone messages and visions haunt a writer while he struggles to finish a novel. As they increase in intensity, he loses his grip on reality, eventually obsessingthis movie didn't not take long to get going and it flowed really well , movie felt really fast pace , There was good scene in this movie , that I really enjoyed and thought there they were a tad creepyI liked how the plot came to an end , I enjoyed turn in story but it did cross mind in the part of the movie, that he might lead that way.I thought acting was very decent from the cast7 out of 10 really good movie
