 Tagline: Have you checked the children lately?
A remake of the 1979 Columbia Pictures cult horror film, which starred Carol Kane as a high school student traumatized while babysitting by a caller who repeatedly asks, "Have you checked the children lately?"
In a remote hilltop house, high school student Jill Johnson (Camilla Belle) settles in for a routine night of babysitting. With the children sound asleep and a beautiful home to explore, she locks the door and sets the alarm.
But when a series of eerie phone calls from a Stranger insists that she “check the children,” Jill begins to panic. Fear escalates to terror when she has the calls traced and learns that the calls are coming from inside the house. Jill must summon all of her inner strength if she is going to fight back and make it out of the house alive.
In 1978, one of the scariest movies of its time took to the big screen and sent babysitters around the world into a frenzied panic. Often imitated (Scream), but never duplicated, When a Stranger Calls starred a terrified young baby-sitter... an incessantly ringing phone… and whispered threats which set the stage for one of the most suspenseful chillers ever filmed.
