- Synopsis
- A hundred miles away from the scene of a grizzly murder in small town American, Jill Johnson (Belle) settles in for a routine night of babysitting. With the children sound asleep and a beautiful home to explore, she locks the door and sets the alarm. But when a series of eerie phone calls from a stranger insists that she "check the children," Jill panics. Fear escalates to terror when she has the calls traced. And what the police find turns the perfect babysitting job into a 16-year-old's worst nightmare.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Designed to capitalize on the title and premise of the original but offers little to those who fondly remember it."
-
"Loud, noisy, flashy but too rarely chilling"
-
"This remake takes an alternate tack from the original feature, expanding the story of "The Sitter" to a full 83 minutes, but the result is dull and painfully generic."
-
"Ineptly directed by Simon West, the scare-free 'When a Stranger Calls' is the worst of the seminal horror movies from the late '70s and early '80s that have been getting the remake treatment lately."
-
"Even by the lowest standards, this is a frightless, cynically made movie"
