Year: 2006
Director: Simon West
Plot: A teenage girl becomes a demented serial killer's prey in this big-budget remake of the 1979 thriller that became a TV late-show favorite. When a Stranger Calls takes its title and basic premise from the original, which -- for its first 15 minutes or so -- featured Carol Kane as a frazzled babysitter plagued by creepy, invasive phone calls. This time around, the doe-eyed Camilla Belle plays Jill Johnson, a high-schooler dealing with the usual set of crises: an unfaithful boyfriend, a bitchy best friend, and an over-the-limit cell phone bill. In order to pay for the latter, her father (Clark Gregg) has committed her to a babysitting gig with a wealthy family. At the isolated, palatial house, Jill settles in for a night of no-stress kid-watching. But it isn't long before someone starts anonymously calling the house with creepy, increasingly specific messages. Jill doesn't rule out anyone, but it becomes clear that whomever it is, he or she is watching her, and may be closer than she even suspects. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

Body: This movie was so dumb. I really wanted to take it back and ask for my money. It makes no sense and the ending is dumb to say the least.

Body: Alot of people are saying that this is a cheap stupid horror flick...........not really true. Although some elements seem a little staged(all alone in a dark spooky house, out in the middle of no where, and on a dark and stormy night......) It was a well done thriller. I think it's for a specific group of thriller fans, however. If you like thrillers where strong-willed female characters have to do what they never thought possible, then you would like this movie.
