Summary: Wow, one of the scariest movies I've seen...
Review: Scarier than the 6th sense and might be better than What Lies Beneath. I'm a fan of scary movies, and this one had me not on the balls of my feet the whole time, but under a blanket with all but one eye covered. The first scenes will haunt you for a few months and I gurantee you will never want to babysit again. The tactics of this stalker scared me out of my wits. He left little signs he had been in the house, opening a door the main character had just checked, ripping out paper from a notebook the main character had just written on. The twists and turns of this movie were fanomonal! Wow. Save for a place where you can scream as much as you want!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCREAM is NOTHING compared to this truly creepy sleeper....

THIS IS THE ONE!!!!you wanna get totally tripped out afraid of your own shadow? THIS IS THE ONE!!!! I REFUSE TO GIVE OUT ANY DETAILS>>>>except that youll see that now youll have to not only look under your bed at night before you go to sleep-youll have to have a full house inspection. SEE THIS FILM and you will know what i mean....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Listen to me veary carefuly, he's in there with you.
Review: That was defently one of the scarest lines I've ever herd, When A Stanger Calls Back has lots of ups and downs, just like When A stranger Calls, but unforgently it had more downs then ups.

It all starts with a fantstic opening( almost as good as the orginal's ) the opening scene picks all the moments right, and was veary well thought out( and scary too ).

The movie slowly starts to drag after that, and it is preaty boring till the end, the last scene is preaty scary.

Over all the movies preaty good for it's opening and closeing, I would have given the movie 5 stars if it could have been closer to the opening and closeing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Look Into The Living Room......"
Review: THE FREAKIEST MOVIE LINE YET!!! One babysitter on her own with 2 sleeping kids. The phone calls begin and items dissappear. Doors she had checked previously that were locked mysteriously become unlocked, a paper written on in a notebook gets torn out somehow, and a mystery man at the door....or is he at the door?? These horrifying events result in a terrifying experience and explanation for the babysitter- and all this happens in the first 12 minutes of the movie! When Carol Kane and Charles Durning return to investigate on the alike situation Kane had as her role in the first movie WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, you won't be sorry! The roles are played fantastically! What's better? Just when you have bitten off all your nails from the movie's opening segment, more action and suspense happens. All I can say is you won't forget the horrifying opening in the movie! It's a great movie! Get WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK now!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The first twenty minutes or so
Review: The opening sequence of this movie, yet another variation on the "When a Stranger Calls"/"Scream"/"Scream II" yarn about the imperiled babysitter, does it better than any movie I've ever seen. What distinguishes it is (1) the babysitter here is intelligent, mature, and kindhearted, and you identify with her moral quandary, and (2) for the longest time, you just don't know that the person she's dealing with isn't as innocent as she is. It's the moral dilemma that draws you into the situation, and it's the realistic, could-easily-happen details that get under your skin. The rest of the movie is good, though inevitably not as good, and it drops off a second time once the plot conveniently sideswipes the babysitter character so that Kane, who starred in the original, can take over. But it still stays above the pack all the way through, and the ending is one of those that I hear people talk about even if they can't quite remember which movie it was from.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: And the Golden Raspberry goes to...
Review: This is one of those movies that make you wish you could have your 2 hours back. A "friend" told me the scariest thing about this movie is that the events in it could happen. I guess he knows more ventriliquist/stalker/murderers than I do. This movie is probably the worst horror movie I have seen except for maybe Frogs or Uncle Sam. Watch it for a few laughs and even fewer scares.

Summary: Oh my God!!!
Review: This is the first movie review I have ever submitted here. After seeing, and being taken totally off guard by this movie -I had to write...
I tuned into this late one night while channel surfing on cable. I missed the opening credits, so didn't know what it was, but I'm sure glad I didn't miss the beginning. It had that look of a made-for-TV production, which really threw me off, but there was something about it that kept me from clicking the remote. The opening scene where the typical innocent babysitter began to become terrorized, slowly grew to the point of almost being unbearable! I'm a guy, and (sadly) am almost never scared watching a movie - but this one blew my mind. The way the Director slowly took his time, and languished his craft carefully through every scene is what I believe sets this movie apart. No sudden jump ups (untill the very last scene)trick edits, or trendy rock soundtrack. In fact after the nerve-wracking beginning, the whole middle of the movie almost dwindles out to becomming boring - and I think that was intentional. When the main female star of the movie is pushed almost out of the plot, and you're thinking "well that's it" it's almost over...LOOK OUT! This has to be one of the most effective scary movies ever made, and I'd never even heard about it before. A must have for anyones collection. If you live alone - prepare to have your poor innocent mind warped :)
They should put this one out in the theatres now (nine years after it was made for TV,no less) and I truely believe it would be a success on the level of "The Sixth Sense". Great Stuff. Hollywood, are you listening? More movies like this please!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy it, Buy it, Buy it!!!
Review: This movie got me so scared and nervous I thought I was going to have to pause it to calm down. If you want to be really truely scared, buy this movie.
