When a Stranger Calls

2006 · 1h 27m · Horror, Mystery

IMDb 5.1 Metacritic 27 RT 8%

Skip it. This is a by-the-numbers remake of a 1979 cult classic that strips away the psychological tension and replaces it with jump scares and predictable babysitter-in-peril tropes. Unless you're a hardcore horror completist or have zero other options, you'll find better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Far away from the site of a gruesome murder, a teenager named Jill Johnson arrives at a luxurious home for a baby-sitting job. With the children fast asleep, she settles in for what she expects to be an ordinary evening. Soon, the ringing of a phone and the frightening words of a sadistic caller turn Jill's routine experience into a night of terror.
