"I'm a little curious as to why this is something that people would consider desirable."
For a horror audiences, it means that the filmmakers have done something right.

When a stranger calls, whatever you do, don't hang up if the voice is sexy.
Huh?
What?
What!!
Oh. This isn't a request for advice?
Oops.

Posted: 5/28/05 at 8:44pmHow about remaking it with PAris Hilton to insure it being awful?

Camilla Belle has been cast as the lead in Screen Gems' remake of "When a Stranger Calls," to be directed by Simon West.
Shooting is skedded for mid-July.
Jake Wade Wall penned the remake of the 1979 Columbia Pictures cult horror pic, which starred Carol Kane as a high school student traumatized while babysitting by a caller who repeatedly asks, "Have you checked the children lately?" After notifying the police, she is told that the calls are coming from inside the house.
Belle will star in the role played by Kane.
Davis Entertainment's John Davis and Wyck Godfrey are producing with Ken Lemberger.
Belle stars opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in IFC's "The Ballad of Jack and Rose." She also stars in Ari Posin's "The Chumscrubber," with Glenn Close and Ralph Fiennes, which preemed at Sundance this year. Thesp just wrapped "The Quiet," an indie also starring Elisha Cuthbert and Edie Falco.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 6/2/05 at 8:42amBlack Christmas is actually scarier than "When A Stranger Calls".
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Casting her is a step in the right direction. Simon West as the director on the other hand...
What they need to do is just make it well constructed and scary. No need for all the modern effects of most horror movies lately. Just get back to the roots of horror and what's really scary to people.

Posted: 6/2/05 at 2:45pmI just hope that the opening sequence can at least live up to the original. It's a tough act to follow.
