Synopsis
976-EVIL (1988) is an American horror film you can watch online on iFILM. A bullied teenager dials a pay-per-call "horrorscope" line, walks away with demonic powers, and slowly learns what such a phone bill really costs.
Hoax is a quiet loser, picked on at school and smothered at home by a fanatically religious mother. One day he spots an ad for 976-EVIL: call the number, hear your daily prophecy. He calls — and Hell itself is on the line. The boy starts enjoying his revenge on the kids who tormented him, never noticing how the dark gift is rewriting who he is. Stephen Geoffreys carries that slide from victim to monster, while Sandy Dennis and Robert Picardo lace the scares with the wisecracking tone of late-'80s horror.
This was the directorial debut of Robert Englund — yes, the man under Freddy Krueger's makeup. That explains the register: not solemn terror but a gleeful creature feature built on rubbery effects, telephone cords, and teenage resentment. Comfort food for fans of vintage practical-FX horror.
