Review of When a Stranger Calls (1979) by Robbie K — 31 Oct 2018
During a babysitting gig, a high-school student is harassed by an increasingly threatening prank caller.
I watched the special featured with in depth detailed examination of the elements & structure on how to make this film a top notch thriller.And Director Simon West new his source material very well. There are basically 'three' main characters in this thrilling film . # 1 Actress 'Camilla Belle' . # 2 'The House' were the film is taking place .They built the house from the ground up it is modern 70s style and is outstanding architecture worth watching this film for is element alone. # 3 'The Telephone'.
Once this film get going I was on the edge of my seat . The tension is very well thought out and the set design 'The House'. The lighting like a neo-noir. Camilla Belle acting through facial and body movement there is limited dialog. OK so this is not Hitchcock but a pretty damn good thriller In its own right . I really enjoyed visceral nervous tension When a Stranger Calls (2006) brought to the table. I found the film very entertaining.
