When a Killer Calls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a Killer Calls is a 2006 direct-to-video movie distributed by B-movie company The Asylum. The film was released in February 2006, to co-incide with the theatrical release of the 2006 re-make of When a Stranger Calls, as both movies have near-identical plots.
[edit] Plot outline
Trish (played by Rebekah Kochan) is babysitting a young girl, Molly, while her parents are out. The first couple hours at home, Trish and Molly are fine, but this is only because the parents have been murdered by the killer. When that deed is done, the killer begins to call Trish's cell phone, repeatedly asking her if she's "checked the children", now that Molly has been put to bed.
Beginning to feel uneasy, the arrival of her boyfriend Matt, along with his drunken friend Frank and his girlfriend Chrissy, doesn't seem to help her mood. Soon after they've arrived, the killer also arrives, killing Molly in her room, and killing Matt and Frank in the basement, but leaving Chrissy tied up on the couch. When Trish goes to Molly's room to find her dead, she comes face to face with the killer, and tries to escape, but falls down the stairs and is rendered nconsious.
After a brief fade-out, the action now shifts to the basement, where Trish is now tied to a rafter, and Chrissy is still tied on the couch. After several minutes of close-ups of Trish moaning and screaming for help, the killer finally killing Chrissy, and some shots of (what some would call) gratuitous nudity, Trish manages to escape and run out of the house, and manages to retrieve the killer's gun from him and shoot him dead. The movie ends by Trish simply walking away from the house into the surrounding woods.
