WOW in the most polite way this message is dedicated to the filmakers of this movie. Next time u guys think of remaking a movie that nobody has even heard of at least remake Robocop or Nightmare on elm street or even the Exorcist but, please try and make it as close to the original movie as you can. simon west what the heck were u thinking dude. the only good thing about this movie was the house. pEACE
Honestly, this movie doesn`t deserve more than 1 star. I agree with the other people. Those stupid 12 year-olds who never saw a scary movie annoyed me with their screaming. It was a total waste of money. Nothing exciting, nothing scary, very boring. Anyone with an average imagination and intelligence can make up a story like that or even better. I think that movie is for 12-14 year olds. I am 20 years old. I thought it was soo stupid. Didn`t scare me or get my attention. It could have been a lot more exciting. Anyway, don`t waste your money. I think no matter how ur taste in movies is, you don`t wanna waste ur money on this.
Took along time to get the climax, but once it got there it was worth it. Never want to hear another phone ring again!!!
Absolutely boring. Save ur precious hard earned money and simply watch something else. There is nothing more in the movie than shown in the trailer. And the ending was very obvious one.
stupid,,,,dont waste your money or time.dont even watch it when it comes out on tv.How did this movie get to number one? Ah wait, because only thirteen year-olds like this movie its rating is PG need I say more? The only thing that is scary about this movie is that it is so so bad!!
I never saw the original but this one was pretty good i saw it on the opening night with two of my friends were only twelve but we managed to get anyway it was thrilling but shoud`ve been longer i was hoping that she left the hospital and then attacked her at her own home and maybe she ended up killing him or sumtin, The beginning was sorta creepy at the carousel carnival thing anyway 4 out of 5 but i reccomend seeing it and having your own opinion.
BEST MOVIE I`VE SEEN IN 3 YEARS! GREAT SUSPENSE. I JUMPED DURING THE WHOLE MOVE. I TOTALLY WOULD TELL PEOPLE TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE! GO CHECK IT OUT! I WOULD RATE IT 11 OUT IF 10! AWESOME MOVIE
it was an okay movie but people come on they could of thought of another ending and why was the guy going after camellia or was he after the parents they soo need to make it more .... more.. INTERESTING !!!!
ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE..A TEENY BOPPER MOVIE...THE MOVIE HAS NO PLOT, AND NO ACTION...PEOPLE DONT WASTE UR MONEY...
Don`t listen to other people! I swear! This movie is an excellent movie! I would like to buy it when it comes on DVD.
This movie is BLAST! caz... in the beginning of the movie, i thought it was going to be nasting for the whole movie. That`s why i was scared for awhile for whole the movie."BEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR!" You need to find out! It`s worth it to see it. This movie is perfect for babysitters or anyone!
Don`t need to watch the movie, just see the trailer....it tells the whole story, and you don`t have to waste 86 minutes of your life. For anyone who liked this movie, you MUST be under the age of 13.....come on people, the original was better, and it was made in 1979. Do yourselves a favour and rent the original (and it wasn`t even that good).
Well first off, the movie is 86 minutes in length. I wish I checked that before I headed to the theatre. The whole movie was pretty much given out in the preview and to top things off; the ending was the only bit of action the movie had.
LAAAAAAME...i want my money back...this was a pure teeny-bopper movie. Not scary in the least bit. Total waste of time & money. Cheesy to no end.
This movie is a little cheesy. Not too many actors involved. The ending was predictable. I expect a little bit more on this movie. Like tell why is he scaring Camilla Bell off. Overall, not a bad movie. Watch it and give ur comments here! =P
I just went and seen the movie tonight,,with a childhood friend of mine.. we had seen the original when we were about 17, on tv..I was babysitting of course, and watching it then quickly turned it off as it scared the heck out of me,,well lo and behold the phone ran about 20mins later and someone on the other end asked if I had checked the children,, needless to say it traumatized me to this day,, even after finding out it was a friends boyfriend who did it... this movie was really good,,not as graphic which is great,, they didnt show too much gore...well none actually,,so it was tasteful,, anyway,, scared me this time too.. so have a fun tim
dumbness to the max......DONT WATCH IT
its a good thriller but they told all the story in the comercial
Typical....all the action happens in the last 20 minutes....
this movie was very very suspenseful for a long time before we saw the killer finally emerge.. it wasn`t too long and it`s worth checking out if you like thrillers/suspense movies such as I..
over anticipated ending, the commercial gives away most of the story and the ending is predictable. A few good scares but not worth the price of a movie ticket maybe worth the price of a rental, wait till it comes out on DVD.
SOOOOOOOOOO STUPID AND CHEESY!!!
Ok this wasn`t that good like I laughed through the whole thing. The babysitter was so stupid and like the movie was too.
I thought the movie was awesome! It was scary but not too scary. There`s a lot of times where you think something is going to pop out, but doesn`t. This made me really jump when something DID pop out! The directing was excellent! -Amanda
This Movie Creeps Me Out!!I Have To Check EveryWhere In My House Now When Im Alone!!! I Always Think About It And Then I Get Scared!!!More n" More!!!!!
There was a whole lot of screaming going on in the theater!! Definitely awesome!
Its really scary because I am a babysitter myself. I`m not anwsering anymore phone calls.
It was Sooooooooooooo awsome! It was scary!
VERY freeky, luved the movie is waz scary, neva saw a scaryer movie then this
The ending was not wrapped up well enough and left loose ends. What happened with her friends parents? what did her parents say? What about the boyfriend? It left things hanging...otherwise it was alright...a little lame.
Tribute... The movie "When A Stranger Calls" Is a awesome movie just saw it with my friend Donna today it was great. I can`t wait until it comes out on dvd I am going to buy it. William;
called the plot line the whole damn movie. The same line has been over done since 1990 it woulda been good back then.
WOW!! IT BLEW!!!! Camilla Belle could not act to save her life, but through sheer luck, the character`s. This is 70 minutes of the girl peering through several rooms, improvising creative weapons, and cheap spooks that turn out to be none other than household objects, and that dumb cat. Simon West needs a shred of creativity, as this entire movie is typical, cliche, lame scares. Might`ve been effective NOT to put the entire movie in the trailer.
This movie was so scary and the house looked so creepy. Camilla Belle is an amazing actress.
this was a really good thriller evne better than flightplan or red eye! it was kinda scary and not very jumpy... and this is coming from a twelve year old! But it was really good, and i give it 5 stars so go see it now!!!
This movie was not scary at all at least not to someone under the age of 13 or one who is very very easily scared (I`m 23 FYI). I was hoping for something more, but didn`t get much out of watching it. If you don`t watch this movie, trust me you`re not missing much.
omg.. i loved it! so scary i was on my friend like the whole time!
COOL. LOL
it was scary buts its like another scream movie yall member scream, !!!
"When A Stranger Calls" is a very good movie i really like it!!!
BAD BAD BAD. 1. Terrible acting, bad suspense, predictable, and a very weak ending. 2. Commercial gave away the whole thing. 3. Theatre packed with kids who have never seen a horror, so they think it is great. I believe the PG rating is the cause of this. I believe this appeals more to Young women who feel vulnerable, and have no taste in movies. I would be surprised if any men liked this movie. Please save your money!
Horrible Movie... I Wouldnt Recommend It To Anyone!
it was garbage but i had my gf there so it was ok
OMG, Scariest Thing Ever. I have To Check Behind the Doors and In the Closets 24/7. OMG. This is more scary then any other Horror Ever! Devon L.
This movie was great. And Camilla Belle is Hawt!
waste of money, very boring throughout the whole movie
Its a REMAKE not an original script so whoever said that the commercial gave away the best part is a complete moron. Other than that it wasnt all that bad. It could have used a higher rating to keep stupid 12 year old kids from ruining it for everyone else with their screaming and all around stupidity. P.S. That actress is hot!!!!!
made me jump about 7 times, a movie worth seeing. thrilling and horrifying.
I HAVEN`T SEEN A MOVIE LIKE THAT IN A WHILE!!! CREEPY AND SPOOKY, BUT A GREAT MOVIE! (^_^)
The movies was good ..i saw it with my boyfriend i get scared sooo easly so i jumped many times....one of the best suspense movies latly!!!!!! good for couples or single people!!!
