Click right here to check out the trailer for "When a Stranger Calls," which (get this!) is a remake of a horror film (of the same name) from 1979. Seriously, they're remaking horror movies now! (It's rated PG-13, it stars Camilla Belle, and it's from the guy who directed "Con Air.")

"A young high school student's babysitting gig ends in a nightmare when she recieves mysterious phone calls at the house to check on the children, only to find them dead. Years later, the traumatized woman must fight for her life when the stranger starts calling for her."

Co-starring Brian Geraghty and Tommy Flanagan, "Stranger" hits the screens on February 3rd.

(And for the record: I like "Con Air.")

[b]This looks soo nostalgic.[/b]
It donsnt look like it trying to have a storyline, a few things look cliched but it looks like its cliched and dosnt care. It generates a cool suspensfull atmosphere, and seems to have some style. Looks better than, "Cry Wolf", "Venom", or House of Wax. Much better.

What if A Stranger Calls and we ingored him by renting out the orginal instead?
About the only way they can update the original is by giving the stranger a cell phone and really, is that reason enough for a remake?

what's wrong with you? This is the dumbest thing i've ever seen. When i first saw the trailer on tv, i thought it was a commercial for a home security system.

"Do you like scary movies"

I won't be able to watch it without thinking about Scream...
