If I ever received a phone call asking me to 'check the children' I would probably be a bit freaked out. First off, who the hell are the children? Ok, ok, this may not be the case of a young babysitter asked to babysit a location she had never done before. What can possibly be worst than being alone in a desolate location when some creepo comes calling? Well, maybe if this creepo is closer than expected.
So is the case in the next horror thriller from Scream Gems titled When a Stranger Calls.
When a Stranger Calls Movie Trailer
When a Stranger Calls reminds me a whole bunch of Scream, except the caller never asks, 'are you alone in the house?'. Instead, this caller seems to be somewhat of a pedophile and is strictly curious about children.
A hundred miles away from the scene of a grizzly murder in small town America, Jill Johnson (Camilla Belle) settles in for a routine night of babysitting. With the children sound asleep and a beautiful home to explore, she locks the door and sets the alarm. But when a series of eerie phone calls from a STRANGER insists that she "check the children," Jill panics. Fear escalates to terror when she has the calls traced. And what the police find turns the perfect babysitting job into a 16-year-old's worst nightmare...
