while babysitting at an isolated colorado house and a teen girl be terrorize by an elusive murderer on the telephone . remake of the 1979 semi classic horror film basically take the opening 20 minute of the original film and stretch it out to fit an 87 minute time span . so it pretty needless to say that the plot of this remake be pretty thin . there little in the way of originality or interest in this movie . there a lot of camilla belle wonder around a dark house wonder who call her and encounter all kind of false scare . it all get repetitious and routine after the first 30 minute and never manages to muster up much in the way of suspense or chill . it certainly never reach the intensity of the original film and especially since it wimps out and change one important plot point from the original . i guess we have the pg 13 rating to thank for that . on the plus side there an impressive set design and some dark atmosphere and unfortunately there not much go on around it to save this remake from be sub par . belle performance be pretty mediocre too . it just another unimpressive remake . half out of .
