THE NIGHT CALLER is one of those films that deftly illustrate why British genre films have an edge to them. Basically, it's because they under-play everything and keep even the wildest concept grounded in reality. In this one, for example, an invader comes to earth to find young women and collects them by means of an advertisement for models in a prominent glamor magazine! John Saxon stars. The film is most effective in it's early moments, when an alien device is being studied. Unpredictable turns ahead. Worth a look. A neat double feature could be cooked up by including THE UNEARTHLY STRANGER...
