When a Stranger Calls

 

USA 1979, 95 minutes
Dir. Fred Walton
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Horror / Youth

 

Aroview: "Have you checked the children?". This line and the opening twenty minutes of this film (later parodied in SCREAM) preyed on babysitters' fears the world over to score a box-office sensation.

Essentially a short film padded out to feature length to capitalise on the late 70s horror cycle, the remaining 77 minutes is more likely to induce zzzzz's than aaargh's. Now that's exploitation...
