Wnen a Stranger calls.....

Turtle Dove · 01-04-2006, 07:41 PM

I was watching Fox tonight and a commerical popped up called,"When a Stranger calls" A woman is getting called by a unknown man, who ends up stealing the kids......typical plot....Hollywood mixed a Scream movie with a kidnapping movie

Thats a urban legend actually thats been around for awhile.

either way...I never babysit kids who live in 2 story houses.

Yeah, it's nothing new... it's an OLLLLD Urban Legend... been around forever. I'm surprised it took Hollywood this long to make a movie of it, heh... Albeit a bad looking one.

Urban Legend? Wasn't there a movie calld Urben Legend? Either way this movie looks kinda ....stupid. I'll wait for Spiderman 3 and TMNT...the Flash movie & WW.Or something that really catchs my eye

It's a remake of a 1979 movie of the same title. Then there was the 1993 sequel "When a Stranger Calls Back"

The remake's trailor is so horrible that I seriously expected someone to say "I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico." Or at least a cameo by the King. Actually, I'd probably pay a good 7.50 to see a horror flick starring the King.

So Hollywood is just doing remakes? That explains alot-Superman Returns is coming soon. On the bright side of remakes we got an ass kicking TMNT movie and a Transformers movie

Yeah but those are franchise revivals, its kinda hard to explain I'm sure one of the smarter members will explain eventually.

the only good remakes that spring to mind are The Fly and Dawn of the dead.

uh huh-you calling me stupid?

Anyways, I think it's intersting that Hollywood ran out of ideas and are doing remakes or sequals to orignals. As long as a few classics are NEVER remade it's cool. THe first movie that comes to mind is, "The Breakfast Club" If this movie was remade it would be some ,lustful, sex teen movie with beer like the American Pie movies

If i was calling you stupid I would just say it.

And yes, hollywood ran out of Ideas about 2 years ago.

Turtle Dove · 01-04-2006, 10:42 PM

Anyways back on topic.......I saw another perview of this movie. Wow I think I will 100% avoid this movie. THe only ay I'll go is kicking and screaming
