Plot was a little thin on this one..
Almost fell asleep twice in the first half of the movie. It is a poor remake of a good movie from the 70's.
"When a Stranger Calls" is unnessary a remake of a 1979 movie of the same name. The only reason why they remade this film is to update the movie for the cellphone crowd. A teenage babysitter is scared ot of her wits at a series of phone calls coming from a killer inside the house. The only good thing I got out of this movie is that there is less buckets of gore. But the film is dark, empty, stupid and prediable. Like in one scene where the blond girl ran to her car, dropped the car keys, could've start the car and a tree branch stood in the way of the car. she tries to movie and she gets it from the killer. I can see that scene a mile down the road. I like the house, it's too bad they should've added a panic room.
