Directed by Peter Mervis. Written by Mervis and Steve Bevilacqua. Starring Rebekah Kochan, Robert Buckley, Mark Irvingsen, Sarah Hall, Tara Clark and Chriss Anglin.
Plot: a babysitter receives increasingly disturbing phone calls.
This movie is a total ripoff of When A Stranger Calls. Except that it’s bad. It came and out the same year When A Stranger Calls was remade and when straight to video. It didn’t deserve much else. That’s a shame, too, cause I really like Robert Buckley.
You can pretty much figure out how the movie’s going to go. It’s not surprising. A lot of scenes last far too long. The camera does this weird jutty, noisy, shaky thing. A lot of the movie is trying to be clever, but it’s not. I mean, how can it be when it just copied itself completely from another movie. The specials are bad as well. As is the motive.
Now, there are boob shots. And the soundtrack is hilarious. The stalker song in the credits is one of the best ending songs we’ve heard.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
