When A Stranger Calls

A remake of the 70s horror film "When A Stranger Calls" has been made. I never saw the original but it looks to me like this is based on the urban legend about the babysitter who gets a call that the police trace to..... the HOUSE SHE IS IN!!! Sorry if I spoiled the story there, but the trailer also spoils it. The villain in the trailer is also comedic because he uses jazz hands several times in the trailer. The films star Camilla Belle appears to have starred in a bunch of movies I have never heard of (her imdb page) (notice that she was once on "Walker Texas Ranger"

Special note: Here is snopes.coms version of the legend mentioned above, and it says that "when a stranger calls" is based on this legend. Urban Legends Ahoy
