When a Stranger Calls (1979)


1) The first 20-30 minutes were really tight, but after that it kind of struggled. I thought the newer movie was a lot more suspenseful/generally creepier the whole time. The first part of this movie was super scary but I didn't really care about what happened to the killer in the interim period.

2) It was worse for other reasons too. The new Jill is a lot better looking then the old Jill, and the new killer is a lot creepier too. The new one was a lot more teen-horror genre which was tight.

3) The whole private investigator thing didn't really make sense. Horror movies are a lot creepier when nobody really knows who the killer is or why they're making it rain. This whole 'investigating the bad guy' thing was pretty jitsu.

4) And the killer's name was Duncan. Who names their kid Duncan anymore?
