When a Stranger Calls
This is supposed to be a remake of a 1979 film. After this viewing, Alien says, why did they bother? Save your time and money by staying away.
A high school student takes a new babysitting job in a fancy house in a remote location on a dark and stormy night. When she gets a series of mysterious phone calls, she starts to panic.
For a less than 90 minute movie, you could sleep for the first hour and 10 minutes and not miss any real action. The 8 minutes of heroine/killer confrontation is weak. The ending is lame. It is not scary, just dumb.
Alien gives is zero “wrong number” stars out of 4.
