NEW YEAR'S EVIL is a low budget slasher of 1980, similar in part to TALK RADIO and PLAY MISTY FOR ME. Unlike either of those films, however, it's content to go through the motions without ever really exciting or innovating in its approach. A female disc jockey is harrassed by a prank caller who turns out to be a serial killer who takes a new victim every time it's New Year in a new time zone in the USA. The pace is slow and sedate, the characters thinly-written, the kills rather unimaginative, so there's little reason to tune in.
