Farah R @Farah Apr 22 I watched this movie having not seen its predecessor, yet I was able to follow the plot just fine. The acting was decent, and the story was good at maintaining suspense throughout. See more A.L.Jude P @judebd 09/03/2023 Somewhat creepy yet a pragmatic thriller. See more jona i 05/15/2022 More thrilling throughout than the previous installment, though not as exciting as the parts that worked in the previous installment. See more 09/17/2021 Fourteen years after When a Stranger Calls, this TV movie brings back Cheryl Wilson, Carol Kane and Charles Durning as Mrs. Schifrin, Jill Johnson and John Clifford, as well as director Fred Walton. The opening of this movie is great. Julia Jenz (Jill Schoelen, an unsung scream queen) is babysitting when she hears a knock on the door. Smart enough to not let anyone in, she tells the man on the other side of the door that she can call a tow truck for him but won't let him in. When she does try to call, the lines are cut and as she begins lying to the mysterious voice, she realizes that someone is coming in and out of the house. It's too late — the children she was watching have been abducted. Five years later and Julia is still traumatized, with whoever stole the children continuing to break into her apartment. She's helped by counselor Jill Johnson, but the constant abuse causes her to try and kill herself with a self-inflicted head wound. Julia and John Clifford decide to figure out who the stalker is, a man who can throw his voice and has special makeup and clothing that allows him to blend into the walls of Julia's apartment.

The acting is decent, the story is interesting and the final act is possibly the best of the 3 films. It's not a perfect movie, but it's still a decent sequel.
