Jill Johnson is a high-schooler dealing with the usual set of crises: an unfaithful boyfriend, a bitchy best friend, and an over-the-limit cell phone bill. In order to pay for the latter, her father has committed her to a babysitting gig with a wealthy family. At the isolated, palatial house, Jill settles in for a night of no-stress kid-watching. But it isn't long before someone starts anonymously calling the house with creepy, increasingly specific messages. Jill doesn't rule out anyone, but it becomes clear that whomever it is, he or she is watching her, and may be closer than she even suspects.
This was a very bad and stereotypical "horror" flick. There was absolutely nothing original about this movie (not to mention it was a remake) and you know exactly how it will end from the very beginning. There was a lot of suspense, but it was really just waiting for something you know is going to happen and it takes almost the entire film for it to come to fruition. In the meantime, you lollygag for 1 hour while not much is going on and the last 15 minutes is moderately exciting. Don't waste your time - it's actually pretty laughable even though it's supposed to be scary (watch Scream instead).
Rating: 1 of 5 stars

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
