When A Stranger Calls (DVD)

What it's about: A teen babysitter (Camilla Belle) is harassed by an anonymous caller (Tommy Flanagan)...

What I thought of it: Typical thriller type movie with a babysitter and a prank caller. The house where the "stress" takes place is amazing and I think (despite the bad reviews the movie got) that overall (even if predictable) it was well done. It is not an horror movie but a thriller. Like the director said (in the extra features), it's about a normal situation and how we get scared in an unknown house with a stranger calling...

The ending actually reminded me (a little) of "Carrie's" ending, twisted just enough!

Best quote:

Jill (sitter): You really scared me, if that's what you wanted. Is that what you wanted?
Stranger: No.
Jill: What do you want?
Stranger: Your blood all over me.

Wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. OK rental.
