(Disclaimer: This was taken from Wikipedia and therefore was not written by me, and does not belong to me.)
This is for anybody who hasn't watched 'When A Stranger Calls' for a while and wants to be reminded of what happened.
On the other side of town, a babysitter and the kids she is watching are brutally murdered. The police are stumped as it is implied that the murderer used his bare hands to rip them to shreds. The movie changes to teenager Jill Johnson. She is going through average teenage crisis's, having her boyfriend Bobby cheat on Jill with Jill's best friend Tiffany and going over 800 minutes on her cell phone, in which her dad is making her babysit for a rich family to pay it off. This causes her to miss a school bonfire, which her best friend Scarlett is going to. She arrives at the huge, Mandrakis House, perched upon a lake with a maid and a greenhouse built in the center. The parents show her around and tell her numbers and they won't be back until midnight. The kids are upstairs asleep. Jill starts off the night by snooping and trying on Mrs. Mandrakis jewellery. Then she starts getting anonymous phone calls. She first dismisses them.
Tiffany comes to visit and Jill forces her to leave. Tiffany tries to leave but there are branches blocking the road. Tiffany gets out to move them and is attacked by an unknown figure. The calls continue inside and Jill calls the police, after the caller says something that Jill knows he is watching her. The police tell her they will try to trace the calls. She has to keep him on the line for a minute. While waiting for the caller to ring, she sees someone in the guest house. She rushes over and he calls her at the guest house. She succeeds in keeping him on the line for a minute. But she realizes that he called the wrong phone line. She runs back to the house after she sees a light turn on at the house and he calls her once more. This time she does it and the police call her and tell her the calls are coming from inside the house!
Jill finds Tiffany's dead body and is attacked by the caller, apparently the same guy who killed the babysitter on the other side of town. She gets the kids and they run into the greenhouse. Jill finds the maid Rosa dead in the pond. The man breaks in but they escape, and Jill manages to lock the man in the greenhouse. He escapes the greenhouse and the kids get out of the house but the man attacks Jill. There is a struggle and Jill manages to stab him in the hand with a fireplace poker. Jill runs out of the house into the arms of a police officer. She awakens in the hospital and the phone rings. She picks it up and the stranger grabs her from behind! She wakes up from her dream, still in the hospital, and freaks out and the movie ends with doctors trying to calm her down.
