One night, while babysitting for a local couple, high school student Jill Johnson (Carol Kane) is troubled by a spook caller who keeps asking 'Have you checked the children lately?' When she eventually phones the police to report the problem, she is told that the calls are coming from inside the house.... Seven years later, when Jill has become a mother herself, the troubles start up again.Although When a Stranger Calls was released just a year after John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, this thriller by longtime actor-turned-director Fred Walton has held a strong following of its own. In an exemplary piece of suspense, the film begins with a babysitter (Carol Kane) fielding threatening phone calls while on the job.
