976 evil ( 1989 ) be a bad movie that come out during the 80 horror movie explosion . this be also robert englund attempt at make a movie . he take a topical theme and try to add a horror spin to it . but all you get be a badly direct and act film with a creepy villain try to be a second rate freddy krueger ( i. e. spout off very bad one liner ) . a no good rascal ( spike ) who live with a strange woman and her nerdy kid be extremely bored . besides spend his time rid around like a rebel without a clue an keep the kid ( hoax ) from be eat alive at school and . spike have nothing to look forward to in life . one day he come across and ad for a 976 number . the phone number promise it could help him with his problem and what not . he try it but be spook by the voice at the other end . but someone close to him have a use for the number . who can that be . overall a very bad movie . maybe if they have a good scriptwriter and director and if might have succeed . sadly it fail a a horror film and a a black comedy . although the first film be bad and the sequel be actually entertaining . my advice to you be to avoid part one and skip ahead to the sequel . strongly avoid and unless you really dig bad movie and film making . bad stuff indeed .
