Review of When a Stranger Calls (2006) by Brian S — 20 Jul 2018
An insult to the world of cinema itself. I think this is the worst remake I've ever seen in my life, even worse than The Stepfather (2009). It has a very clumsy and dull feeling to it, without forgetting that the characters are idiotic, but the real problem with the film is that it delivers barely any real scares, and it barely sheds a drop of blood.
I liked the original from 1979, I thought that it was a chilling cult classic. But this remake shits all over its honor. And for a budget of $15 million, most of the acting, especially Camilla Belle, is fucking awful.
Fuck this movie, it's nothing else than an abysmal mess, stay away from this film.
