      Johnny Butane Dread Central No amount of death and degradation can make up for the film's lack of energy or intensity. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 1, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

      michael b I have Seen The movie When A Stranger Calls, This Movie Is farrrrrf Better, Loved It, Thank You.😀😀😀😀 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Audience Member I've seen tons of slashers. This straight to DVD is done well. Scary and twisted. No comic relief. Well acted. Don't hate. Just watch it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An okay film, though it feels more like a parody of 'When a Stranger Calls'. The deaths scenes are obviously fake and the plot is slow and almost non-existent. Still an okay film, but it could have been so much more. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The Asylum's rip-off of the remake of When a Stranger Calls. The original When a Stranger Calls was an intense, sleazy, and twisted gem of 70s horror-suspense cinema. I never watched the remake because it looked like a toothless, watered down, PG-13 version of the original. At least When a Killer Calls revels in the brutality even if it is as unoriginal as its title implies. Lots of death and gore make up for the lack of originality somewhat, but it is still a pointless remake. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Its really scary even scarier then when a stranger calls PG-13 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member No, I'm not referring to When A Stranger Calls, although it does use the "someone's calling from inside the house" plot. It's a "B" movie done by a studio that's known for taking basic plots of movies about to come out in the theater (or DVD), and it's not bad. At the end, it actually makes sense who the killer is.
