The worst movie i saw in theaters...
there most have been absolutly nothing interesting in the theaters at the time this was out or i would have not seen this one.
this was completely awful
This movie ranks right between the remake of "April Fool's Day" and the remake of "The Fog". Go rent the original version or even the sequel, just not this one.
You know what makes me really angry? that films that are really really good are not reviewed positively for example this film is said to be the worst remake of all time but average score is a bit high and people still say is good and other thing the film blowed up the box office by making 66.5 million dollars worldwide so is it really bad, lets see if the fucking critics are right. First the original was rated R and this one is PG13 so what? the original wasnt gory or bloody it was suspensful and i have i told you that in the days of the original there was no PG13 so if movies were a little bit gory they just put it the R logo. Second people have been comparing this to the abysmal prom night remake now that really sucked because the original of that one is really gory and scary but the remake is boring, the killings are allmost off screen, that really should of been R not a fright free remake with laguna beach characters getting killed in the less grisly way by a killer who doesnt even knows what hes doing. Third this movie haves remaked the most scary 20 minutes of the original and it actually made it good so why are people bitchin all the time about it. So those are all the points i had to touch with thie movie now lets go with the negative the film is actually boring in the middle of the movie i was actually angry when nothing had happened in the first 40 minutes but after them the movie got scary and suspensful so give it a chance and youll be preasently susprised.

Really great horror flick. After many times of watching it still makes me jump. AWESOME MOVIE!
Noone I know really liked this movie. But I did, I've watched it several times since it was released. I seen it twice in theatre's and the movie overall is good. If you are looking for something to watch when your home alone I recommend this. it will get you looking around you and double checking that you locked the front door. This movie was a good movie. The original wasn't all that good to me.
What a bad movie the only reedeaming thing in it was the HOUSE and too bad it was a sound stage!!! Camilla Bell has never made a good movie EX (10,000B.C) so just seeing her name should be more then enough to keep you from watching this one. As far as remakes go it was nothing like the original, like the remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS and PROM NIGHT it failed to scare you! Besides the typical cat in a closet jump and go BOO, WHEN A STRANGER CALLS is not a horror movie, it's a week drama like CAPTIVITY or daer I say P2 (MAKING BARF SOUNDS). In the original I was scared even in the original sequeal WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK I was more scared then watching this one. I really don't recomend this movie to anyone over the age of 12. With it's PG rating it's practicly a family film!!! I give WHEN A STRANGER CALLS 1 crazy baby-sitter killer out of 10 crazy baby-sitter killers!!!
Really boring at the beginning i almost falled sleep but in the middle of the movie it got really suspensful and scary so for the people who havent seen it give it a chance and be pacient at the beginning.(By the way PROMNIGHT2008 seriosly man what is wrong with you i think you parents throw from the head when you were little you give PROM NIGHT a bigger score than to this fuck shit,Prom Night was boring,cheesy,stupid,idiotic and please a PG13 slasher film what a pile of shit)
It's one thing to have a Hitchcock-style, slow-boil suspense movie. I think that is what this movie tried to do, but it failed miserably. There is no sense of dread, there is no suspense, and Camilla Belle was awful in this movie (although she was great in The Quiet).
Thus, all I can see is this: What the hell? How is the user rating so high?
They made a whole movie out of the first 15 minutes of the original. I wished they'd made the remake true to the original plot all the way through. Not a single drop of blood was in this movie, DISTURBIA was better than this. At least Shylo Buff scares me...
I thought this was gonna be like prom night when i watched it but as it progressed it scared me to hell i think this movie needs more apreciation for its great suspense.
thia was the very 1st horror movie i ever watched and when i watched it, it scared me to hell. the only fear i have in life is getting strange phone calls or a home invasion. now after this i have to have caller id on a phone i useand hate when i have 2 answer a phone from a restricted caller or a phone /o caller id at night. this movie is a really good remake and camilla belle is very hot. i do hope the sequel is rated "r" so there can be more blood and i hope theres more of the killer in the 2nd 1.
