Spooky 70's Film - La Cabina

[Smee_1972]

Wonder if anyone remembers this one?

It was a Spanish film made in 1972. A man walks past a phone box and gets in, only to realise he can't get out again. Soon, some guys from the phone company arrive. He thinks he's saved......only they just pick up the phone box, with him still inside, and place it on the back of their truck, and drive away..........

Gave me the creeps!

[M.I.K.]

I saw this in the eighties and have been slightly wary of telephone boxes ever since.

Thanks for that. It's weird how much of this I can remember having only seen it the once, over 20 years ago.

I remember this film - one of the wierdest, scariest films I'ver ever seen.

Spoilers Below...


So many unanswered questions - why were the phone company capturing people in phone boxes just for the purpose of taking them to an underground depot and leaving them there to die?

Never heard of it but sounds interestingly spooky

Thought I would ressurect this thread as I was going to start one on this subject.

Yes, this film frightened me to death when I saw it as a young child, haven't seen it in ages so I am hoping the youtube link posted above is still active.

If you haven't seen this 30-minute gem I would recommend watching it - even if the youtube link is dead I am sure you should be able to get it on DVD or something.

EDIT; Damn! the link is dead!

Re: Spooky 70's Film - La Cabina

Just watched it all on Youtube. It's amazing how clearly I remembered everything considering I was only a child when I last saw it. I think it stays with people because it plays on our fears of a horrible death (I posted that on the video too).
