When A Stranger Calls (2006)

When A Stranger Calls (2006)
Dir: Simon West

A young babysitter is harassed by an anonimous caller, but when she tells the police they say the calls are coming from inside the house.
A loose remake that fails to match the suspense of the original. It's an extended version of that earlier film's first act, but the story struggles to fill the short running time. The setting is much more elaborate and it helps, but the film relies too heavily on clichés and cheap scares.
