Trevor S @PopcornPopper Feb 5 It hit different watching it as a teenager. It’s a great film for viewers with little to no thriller/horror watching. A good beginner chill and thrill. See more Daniel L Jan 19 Really like this remake. No idea why it has such terrible scores. It's well made and well written. Plus Camilla Belle is crazy hot as the babysitter. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 30 When a Stranger Calls is a remake that has been unfairly dismissed over the years. While it doesn’t reinvent the premise, it understands the power of simplicity and atmosphere. The fear here isn’t monsters or gore, but isolation, silence, and the terrifying idea that someone is already inside your home. That concept alone carries much of the tension. The film does a solid job building unease through long stretches of quiet, eerie phone calls, and the growing realization that the threat is closer than expected. The direction is restrained, sometimes to a fault, but it allows suspense to simmer instead of relying on nonstop jump scares. The screenplay could have used sharper escalation and a few stronger payoffs, as some moments feel like missed opportunities. Still, the movie remains effective because it feels plausible. Home invasion horror hits differently when it feels real, and this film leans into that realism. Performances are serviceable See more Pinoy Short R @emill_santos Oct 31 Sakto lang. Napanuod ko na sya dati & inulit lang uli ngayon nung makita sa Netflix. Slow burn sya at hindi para sa mga mainipin. Effective naman un mga gulatan pero ngayon ko lang napagtanto na ang tamad, parang kahoy umakting nung bidang babae See more Melissa L @Agent99 Oct 20 The original movie from the '70s will always be a classic, but this remake isn't half bad. It had some tense moments. See more Aluna U Sep 29 “When a Stranger Calls” is a psychological thriller remake that offers a tense and engaging storyline, effectively building suspense through strong acting and solid cinematography. However, the film struggles with several plot inconsistencies and unrealistic character decisions that may leave viewers questioning its logic. Despite its flaws, the movie remains an entertaining choice for fans of suspenseful thrillers.
