When a Stranger Calls Back | 1993 | Carol Kane | movie review

[@adamcavalle]

I didn't even know this movie existed and I was stunned by how much I loved it. That opening scene is terrifying and also had me wondering if Scream kinda copied it. I thought it was better than the first.

[@BryanLomax]

@@adamcavalle I think Scream definitely drew inspiration from the opening scene of the original movie, which this film is also aping.

[@BACKTRACKCINEMA13]

Believe it or not! The opening scared the hell out of me at 13 yrs old!! Lol!

[@BryanLomax]

@@BACKTRACKCINEMA13 I can believe it. It is pretty creepy.

[@taydestiny38]

Agreed. That opening is nightmare fuel and so well executed! To this day, I consider it to be one of the creepiest, unsettling intros and yet not too many people know about it. That scene is the only main highlight I remember about the film, other than the disguised wall scene in the climax.

[@adamcade604]

Can't think of many good made for tv sequels! I can't wait for your opinion on both Napoleon and Trap

[@saturndax]

so excited that this film is still getting talked about i love it even tho i watched semi recently for my first time.

[@jordanmoran1983]

I actually quite like this, was quite chuffed it was included in a boxset i bought of original. The opening is very effective, i still think I'd take the original as a better film overall but not much in it.

[@RuairiG]

Didn't realise there was a sequel and that it came out much later . I've only seen the remake from 2006. I thought it was quite good though many probably feel it doesn't stack up to the original

[@BryanLomax]

@@RuairiG I think the original has some problems, though the opening and the ending are killer. I prefer this sequel over the other 2 though.

[@JustinBonnici-l2u]

The original is one of my favourite horror movies . This one was OK but for a made for TV was good I think. Have you ever seen Someone's watching me Bryan? Released 1978 directed by John carpenter. It's made for TV

[@BryanLomax]

@@JustinBonnici-l2u I've heard of it but never seen it.

[@JustinBonnici-l2u]

He have 2 good movies for TV, the other one is Body bags released in 1993. With cameo appearances from wes craven and tobe hooper in it

[@JustinBonnici-l2u]

Body bags is on You tube for free

[@BryanLomax]

@@JustinBonnici-l2u ah, thanks!

[@seansheridan123]

I have not any of them in years so marathon I think only 3

[@seansheridan123]

Not a fan of any of them to be honest this first one or the remake

[@BryanLomax]

@@seansheridan123 fair enough. I definitely wasn't a fan of the remake an I thought the first one was just a very good short film stretched out into a feature.
