Although When a Stranger Calls was released just a year after John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, this thriller by veteran 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. She soon finds that a pair of children in her charge have been murdered in their beds; she is nearly killed herself by the homicidal maniac before police arrive. As with Halloween, the action jumps a few years ahead, when Kane's character is himself a wife and mother--and the monster escapes from a mental institution to recreate his original carnage in the heroine's own home. Between these exciting bookends, the film loses its way and becomes dissatisfying and obscure. But Walton compensates by engineering a couple of great horror moments worth savoring. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
