A young high school student, Jill Johnson (Kane) is babysitting one night for a physician and his wife. During the evening, a mysterious phone caller begins taunting her. Sometimes he simply says nothing, other times he asks, 'Have you checked the children?'. Jill eventually becomes frightened for her safety and calls the police. The police successfully trace his next call and discover something horrifying - the calls are being made from INSIDE THE HOUSE! Police are immediately dispatched and Jill narrowly escapes into the arms of Lt. Clifford (Durning). Officers soon discover that the children had been savagely murdered hours ago by the caller, who had been using a phone the parents never had disconnected. 7 years later, the murderer (Tony Beckley) escapes from a mental hospital and resumes his demented mission - this time going after Jill's husband, Steven - and their children. And Clifford - now a P.I. hired by the father of the murdered children - is also hunting the murderer...


Thats one of the original's summaries... It sounds awesome, but the whole 7 years later thing makes me wonder if thats most of the movie... Cause the "7 years ago" is actually more interesting to me

[The Critic]

yup. urban legend.

What does the urban legend say exactly?

Saw it. It could have been much better. If I remember, the original was better. They could have made the new one so much more scary.

Did anyone ever see the SNL parrody? That's all I can think about whenever I see the commercial. In the parrody the girl gets a call "You'd better check on the baby." After a few times she goes to check on the baby, opens the door .....and see's the baby with the phone in it's hands saying "You'd better check on the baby."

I think ive seen the original. Is like the first fifteen minutes nothing but a phone ringing, building suspence?

[shaotime]

Saw this last night. At least it was short and had a few gratuitous side shots of Camilla Belle showing us the booty in tight jeans.

Nice, an almost 2 year old thread.
