no it's not it's actually the opposite, Jill actually stayed at the house and did everything she could to protect the children, in spite of how terrified she was, she put the safety and wellbeing of the children before herself. If it were any other babysitter, they probably would've just left the house after a few calls and just left the children all alone.

I cannot reach the parents, and I am 100 pounds, soaking wet. I don't care if he's outside and the doors are locked and I have a security system. What good are alarms if I can't escape?

If I'm not mistaken, Black Christmas inspired When A Stranger Calls. And the opening for When A Stranger Calls, inspired Scream in the way that Ghostface uses phone calls to stalk/traumatize his victims first. Iconic inspiration all around!

'Black Christmas', 'When a stranger calls' and 'Prom Night' all feature a killer using phone calls to terrorize victims. Black Christmas came first and all three are mentioned in Scream.

[@MrParkerman6]

You are mistaken in both cases, dumbass. The opening of Scream was inspired by When a Stranger calls back, NOT When a Stranger calls. ...and Ghostface using a phone has nothing to do with any of those films.

[@fynnthefox9078]

[@annibunny655]

All of these are probably based on the "Killer in the house" urban legend

[@macie3731]

there’s a short film titled The Sitter that inspired all of these films, but even that stems from an old urban legend about a man hiding upstairs waiting to kill the babysitter

[@Kiddo_williams]

This movie so underrated and well crafted. The beautiful cinematic shots mixed with well lighting and darkness and feels like the character is constantly being watched from every angle. The movie is effective because it really plays with the idea of what’s lurking in the shadows, having the audience second guess themselves on what’s happening and what actually happens. It’s a slow movie for all the right reasons.

I ended up becoming a huge Sons of Anarchy fan and having basically forgotten all about this movie, so when I rewatched it & saw the killer was Chibs from SOA, I was gutted. 😂😂😂😂 Also, the inspiration for Ghostface or Scream is from when Kevin Williamson was house-sitting one night in the mid-’90s, he watched a television special about a Florida serial killer. It scared the hell out of him. He then noticed that a window was open. Except he hadn’t remembered opening it. He called a friend to help him not be so alone or scared, they ended talking about horror films and iconic slasher killers. Then he ended up writing the screenplay to Scream a bit later because of it. I do think this movie definitely has a hand in the inspiration, for sure! 😂

[@Aidan-oj1lx]

I always found the remake much scarier tbh

[@maximuskkj]

@@Aidan-oj1lx I think the remake is scarier than the original, but you have to watch the original (albeit boring) to appreciate Jill (Carol Kane) in the sequel. The first 15 minutes of the sequel are scary AF, and the rest of the movie is solid and creepy but in a good horror way. It's the predecessor of Scream's tension with Drew Barrymore a few years after.

[@derekjones8307]

The OG sequel has one of the best opening sequences

[@dusthymn8187]

I think one of the coolest things about this movie is that it doesn't need to suspend disbelief. A lot of the times people are like "why doesn't she just leave the house?" But the caller was never a threat until the babysitter realized he was inside the house. This is one of the best PG-13 remakes ever and it's misunderstood along with The Stepfather 2008 imo. Camilla Belle's performance as the babysitter was really good, she genuinely looked scared, her portrayal added so much authenticity to the film. What impressed me the most was the film's pacing. The suspense was masterfully crafted. The way the director handled the progression of events kept me on the edge of my seat and I feel like when your film has to be censored to pg-13 it adds a challenge to keep the film interesting, and often times it's rare to find a horror film that keeps you guessing and maintains the tension throughout. You can argue that this film is boring but if you really sit down and give it your attention 'When A Stranger Calls' can be immersive and unnerving with it's subtle cues and small details, it's not a film that bombards you with jump scares or overt violence. Instead, it carefully constructs an atmosphere of unease, relying on the viewer's imagination. I just wanted to defend this film because I remember finding it mediocre even as a kid when it came out, but revisiting it with the lights off and snuggled in my own home I found this super effective on rewatch, so now i champion it. If you enjoy slow burn horror films that focus on atmospheric tension and psychological dread, I recommend renting or buying 'When A Stranger Calls'. A lot of people want a reaction the original, but that film takes a detour like 25 minutes in and becomes a totally different film. This is the best version of the story, sorry!

[@queerym87]

The music when she finds out the call is coming from inside the house is AMAZING! THX remix xD

[@raputathebuta]

AGREED!!!! One of my big problems with this remake (& maybe it's just me) was using Lance Henriksen for the caller's voice. It's too recognizable (to me anyway). Also, while the house was super-cool, being out in the middle of nowhere is already creepy enough. You would expect to be on edge & every little noise would be freaking me out. The set up in the original was much scarier, IMO, because it's so mundane. I also thought When A Stranger Calls Back was very creepy & fun & better than expected.

[@isaaccrist8642]

One error was Jill should have told the police that the stranger called from her friends phone. Tiffany wouldn't have been that far gone already from the house for it to be a prank. I would have killed the stranger as well without any shame. Especially since he murdered so many women and children. What reason would there be for him to be granted mercy. Also, the thought of him tearing the babysitter and children apart with his bare hands in the beginning is beyond horrifying. Those were 5 body bags for 4 people. I'm glad they didn't show the aftermath of what the detective was looking at.

What this film does so well tho is set up all the different set peices (the guest house, the fireplace, the bird atrium etc) then actually pay off on all of them when the action finally hits. The original is undoubtedly one of the films that Scream MOST referenced. The phone calls, etc, even the part where Dewey scares Sidney at her front door after she is first attacked by ghost face is directly from the OG Stranger Calls.

"He saves , I spend" I kid you not I wheezed

[@juliant]

The way i immediately stop what im doing to watch your videos is getting a bit worrying to me... why am i so obsessed 😂 ❤

[@ButtonDiet95]

Alanda I know it's an oldie, but a reaction/re-watch to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? would be a blast for pride month. A Jason X reaction (it works as a stand-alone sequel) would make Zzavid's year! 😁🌻🌻🌻

[@Marthabiggsby]

“Love, Simon” is a great movie that involves pride! I 100% recommend

[@FinalGirl22]

Oooo you would live for the 1993 When a Stranger Calls Back! It was super suspenseful and a very effective home invasion film. It’s my favorite out of the franchise.

This chick is roaming the house checking shit out with out the kids. Art The Clown already got to the kids took a bath had some wine and dipped within 30 secs while miss thang down there talkin bout hello Talkin to Ghostface 😂😂😂

I watched this as a little kid!!! I was so excited to see you react. You bring me so much joy!!❤

"I hate you sir. I fuckin hate ur ass" "The cat is my enemy" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexandervelez9507]

what i love about this film is that the killer was literally a stranger. we know nothing about him or his motives. we only get a glimpse of his face as he’s driven away. makes him so much scarier.

[@alexandervelez9507]

@@justindenney-hall5875 yeah they definitely threw the son in the plot as a red herring.

[@javonvalentin4369]

Alanda I definitely recommend ‘Wild Things’ with our girl Neve Campbell & Denise Richards ✨

[@damianoakes2592]

I wonder if Jill from Scream 4 was named after the main character in this film (they both get a lock of hair torn out), since she really is the anti-Sidney. Pride Month suggestions: Hellbent (2004), Ginger Snaps (2000) and its sequels, Hellraiser (1987), May (2002), Jennifer's Body (2009). I'm sure you've seen Jennifer's Body, but I feel like that would be a fun one to watch together, and if you like it you'll probably like Ginger Snaps, they're pretty similar.

[@MrParkerman6]

NO! She was named Jill because she likes to Jill people!

[@DesMuttYS]

1) I have this on DVD, so I must have watched it, but I don't remember any of it. 2) The movie (or at least the original) is based off an urban legend which this movie does hit many of the main beats of: babysitter goes to big isolated house; kids are already in bed, while parents are going out; person calls, although in the legend, they keep asking, "have you checked the children?"; babysitter calls police, who trace the call; "Get the children and get out. The call is coming from inside the house." Although, the original urban legend ends there.

"Jesus saves, I spend" Alandaisms never ceases to amaze. 😂❤

[@vin3401]

For all its flaws there are some really great directorial choices that I (and my mom, surprisingly, because she hates horror) love in this movie, like I usually hate dark films but the use of it to highlight silhouettes here is so good, I love how they constantly make you feel like Jill is being watched, and as it turns out she actually is, and my favorite part is the choice of not showing certain things, like how they don't show the first victim and make you imagine what happened by the detective's reaction and all the body bags, same for when the friend bangs on the front door, it makes you wander if it's actually the friend who is soon snatched by the killer or the killer playing with Jill. Anyway! lol for some gay films that you might have not seen yet, I highly recommend The Way He Looks, a Brazilian film about a gay boy who falls for the new kid in class, and as a Brazilian I take huge pride in it so I must get others to watch lol, and The Handmaiden, a South Korean psychological lesbian thriller, that chances are you know about or have even seen it already given it's pretty well-known but I can't think of anything else right now lol.

[@Knightcowboy89]

This remake gets alot of flack, but I honestly really enjoy it. It's a good suspense horror film to me. The original is good too, but I honestly prefer the remake. Now the 90s sequel to the original "When A Stranger Calls Back" is head and shoulders above BOTH original and remake! It's very good!

[@moyarb]

Yeah, I've only seen the original and it looks like the remake just stretched out the original's first act, which is fine by me because the rest of the original is...not great.

[@ericb9252]

The original is the only good one

[@Knightcowboy89]

@@ericb9252 your profile picture tells me all I need to know about your opinion.

[@DudditsXCII]

So the original's opening was pretty much this entire movie condensed into about 15 or 20 mins, then the rest was Jill dealing with the trauma and other things happen. The og also has a sequel When A Stranger Calls Back, which is pretty good for a tv sequel.

[@janscimccaw9091]

I live in a 125 year old 2 story house. My son and i had just moved in. I have a landline with a phone in a downstairs room and my bedroom. I was alone in the house one night, and I was walking through the parlour, my cell in my hand rang. It was my landline. This is such an old horror trope - "the call is coming from inside the house," but at that moment, my blood ran cold, and I was so scared to answer that phone. Literal terror. I picked up the phone. It was my son who was in the garage. He had found an old phone hooked up in there and tried it. He had been just calling to test it out. Since then, that old movie from the 70s terrifies me! It never did before😂

When the operator said the call is coming from inside the house I found that so iconic because it's like it's such a surprise and somehow really cool for some reason 😂😂😂

[@OMGitsLively]

this movie is such a guilty pleasure of mine, im so happy you reacted to it!!! love u and ur vids as always queen x

[@DKay-gl3hv]

If you haven't seen "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994) yet, please do. A perfect cult classic for Pride month.

[@kai_winchester_66]

yessss

[@WB-H]

If you watch the OG…watch only the first 40 minutes and then the last 30 skip all parts between. Then watch the entire sequel ‘When a Stranger Calls Back’ it’s a really good made-for-tv sequel…it scared the shit outta me 😂

[@SweetEsme1]

I wonder if people know this story was inspired by two cases that actually happened. One was how the first girl died at the beginning of this movie, but it was a house party down the block of the house she was babysitting. So they neighbors didn’t hear her screams, her case has never been solved because police didn’t collect evidence as they do these days.

[@vaporwaresnake]

The thing I remember the most about this one is that it has really good atmosphere. And you were def right to recommend her killing him just on principle, but there was a planned sequel that never got off the ground where he comes after her as an adult w/kids of her own! Switching topics, you don't have to react to these but some good queer horror picks I think you might like are All Cheerleaders Die and Good Manners. Knives and Skin is also a nice little Twin Peaks-esque movie w/a focus on a teen cast.

[@vaporwaresnake]

@kerfluffee Def one of my favs of the last few years. Very slow burn tho, and has the sensibility of a modern day fairytale.

[@troyponton7408]

Speaking of jumping into a remake before the original, I highly recommend "House of Wax" (2005). You'll have a great time.

[@vickiekasafirek9096]
