When a Stranger Calls 2.5/5 I went to see this movie sunday. It was alright, nothing that made me say wow, or "this was a good movie" or anything like that. Honestly, most of this movie could have all been done in 30 minutes, not the whole one hour and 30 mins. There was no action, not blood, no nothing. Just some girl in a house with a stranger calling and then being attacked. But then again what did I expect? It could have been better, but it definitely does not surpass the original. But, what remakes do?
