    Crisis Hotline

    A mystery take on a sex crime we regularly see in the news and we should all be aware of.

    The movie is well acted and has good revised production values. The new title, "Shadows in Mind" is too poetic to attract the wide audience the film deserves.

    Gay and straight. Male and female. Young and old. Under different circumstances It could happen to anyone. I found the film on Prime Video. It's a mistake to limit it to the Prime LGBT category even though the central love story is between two men.

    The movie atmosphere reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope. It could have been adapted from a stage play but here it is not confined to one room. The other scenes are well used to keep you interested and try to work out what is actually going to happen. It's a slow burn with no violent action but the ending is worth waiting for.

    • Trivia
      Originally re-titled and released as Crisis Hotline by their distributor, the filmmakers were not satisfied with the "slasher-movie" style marketing campaign. The production company, Diamond in the Rough Films LLC, made the decision to re-acquire the film. The filmmakers restored the original Shadows In Mind title and extensively updated the physical elements of the film such as composing an all-new score, a sound design re-mix, a total color re-grade, a new pre-title sequence and re-edited scenes. Writer/Director Mark Schwab says "This is the definitive version of the film. It's the version everyone should see."
