This is a short film that&#039;s been on my viewing bucket list for decades so it was exciting to finally see it. It&#039;s essentially the first twenty minutes of When A Stranger Calls, which came along two years later, with the same writer and director. From memory, the dialogue is identical and even many of the shots seem to line up. It&#039;s like watching a dry run with a different cast and set. 

Truthfully, it&#039;s better than I expected. I knew it was low budget and I&#039;d anticipated it feeling far rougher than it is. 

When A Stranger Calls and When A Stranger Calls Back are on the same Blu-ray, so I&#039;ll get round to re-watching those in HD one of these days. In the meantime, this has hit the spot as a concession to pre-Hallowe&#039;en viewing.
