June 12, 2009This will be a very short review that is incredibly easy to write. When a Stranger calls is very boring. There is no tension to be found in the entire film. The set-up is boring. The execution is boring. The killer is boring. Camilla Belle's character is both stupid and boring. T...( read more)

September 12, 2008This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was close to it. Choosing to watch this movie is like being in a crappy slasher and deciding to do something like explore the dark hallway you suspect the killer is in. I can't be bothered with a full appraisal of this movie, wh...( read more)

November 1, 2009I first heard this story at a sleepover in elementary school. I didn't sleep for weeks afterwords, so this movie kind of took me back. It can get a little boring and they really had to stretch to pull out 83 minutes. Otherwise it wasn't too bad. I originally watched it just for K...( read more)

July 16, 2007This movie is in my top 10 movies of all time, I love it. However, to experience the true greatness of this movie, you would need to watch it at the movies, like I did. It just adds to the tension. One thing I have noticed after watching it a second time, is that there is too much talking on the phone and walking around the house. It's not that annoying, but it makes the movie seem like it goes on forever, but it still gets 10/10.

July 3, 2007I was totally building up anticipation for this movie, and was highly dissapointed when I finally got to see it. If I wanted to see someone on the phone for the majority of the movie, I would've just watched Phonebooth. At least that's a decent movie.
