When a Stranger Calls

 

USA 2006, 83 minutes
Dir. Simon West
Rating: [M]
Genres: Horror / Youth

Feat. Camilla Belle

 

Aroview: Tense, if skeletal, remake of the original 1970s babysitter thriller in which Camilla Belle minds the children in a remote house fitted with hi-tech gadgetry, only to find herself pestered by heavy-breathing phone calls.

Dir. West (CON AIR) offers a few creepy scares, once the main character realises the caller is stalking her inside the house, but the minimalist story approach isn't quite matched in the execution. Worth a look though for the impressive architecture, which is wreathed in effective visual shadowplay.
