I would appreciate your help in finding a particular film?

Question

It was, I think, a European film called 'The Telephone' - it's about a guy who gets stuck in a telephone booth and eventually gets carried away on the back of a lorry to a cave where there are thousands of telephone boxes containing skeletons! Is it avaliable on DVD?

Answer 1

Try IMDb.com.

La Cabina (1972) sounds right to me.
It is a Spanish movie directed by Antonio Mercero and starring José Luis López Vázquez.


During the 80's the BBC used to have a Saturday night horror double bill. On one particular Saturday a sporting event had messed up the scheduling so they stuck a short Spanish horror film on called La Cabina which the subtitles displayed as 'The Telephone Box'. It was only around 1/2 hour in duration and had English subtitles but I thought I'd sit through it while waiting for the real horror movie to come on. So imagine my surprise when this oddity turned out to be one of the most disturbing things I'd ever seen.

I would never sleep with the curtains open after watching salems' lot - now, if I ever need to use a public telephone box I always ensure my foot stops the door from closing!

A big thumbs up for this little shocker.

Answer 3

Is it "La Cabina" (1972)?

I can't find it on DVD on Amazon in the US, the UK, or France. If you have a major bookstore or video store near you, maybe they could check their catalogs to see if it exists. Good luck.

The description of "Phone Booth" doesn't sound like what you're talking about, but check for yourself.
