- Synopsis:
- A terrified young babysitter...a phone that keeps ringing...and whispered terrifying threats set the stage for one of the best twenty minutes in horror cinema history! Carol Kane stars as the baby-sitter who is tormented by a series of disturbing phone calls until a compulsive cop (Charles Durning) is brought on the scene to apprehend the psychotic killer. Seven years later, however, the nightmare begins all over again when the mad man returns to mercilessly haunt Kane, now a wife and a mother. No longer a naive girl - though still terrified, but prepared - she moves boldly to thwart the maniac's attack in scenes that culminate in a nerve-shattering conclusion.
