Jill is at a babysitting gig in the middle of nowhere Colorado when she starts getting increasingly disturbing phone calls. The police tell her they can't do anything other than track the call which—you guessed it—ends up coming from inside the house. This is the film that answers the question: What would happen if we took that awesome, near flawless opening from the same 1979 film starring Carol Kane, and turned it into a feature-length film? Does it work? Well, a little yes, and a little no. Because as it turns out, stretching out the tension exhibited in the 1979 original's killer opening is actually hella hard.
