Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!! This week we are closing out our Home Invasion Thriller theme with the influential When a Stranger Calls (1979).
Unfortunately, just because a film is influential doesn't mean it is essential, and that is sadly the case with this film, as its boring middle half brings the entire film down and makes it basically not worth starting in the first place. I would almost suggest just watching the intro scene and then turning it off. I gave this a 5/10 because there were flashes of brilliance and there is a reason that this film is influential i.e. the intro scene, but everything else was pretty much a letdown.
