WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979) (2007)

FRED WALTON

Plot

This movie contains probably the most scarily effective 20 minutes in cinema history as its opening sequence and a pretty scary finale. Unfortunately the rest is skippable. The plot; a teenage baby sitter gets sequential frightening phone calls and alerts the police, who try to track the caller down, and... you'll never stay at home alone again.
