When a Stranger Calls

Looking to cover her excessive cellphone bill, Jill Johnson agrees to babysit for an affluent family. She arrives at their opulent home, where the parents inform her of their late return and introduce her to the live-in housemaid, Rosa.

After settling into the household, Jill puts the children to bed upstairs. While she hopes for a quiet night, she is soon confronted with a disturbing series of events that will challenge her safety.

Jill starts receiving mysterious phone calls from an unknown caller, initially believing it may be a prank. The situation escalates when her friend Tiffany arrives to offer support, but Jill anxiously pushes her away due to growing fear.

As Tiffany leaves, she is unknowingly followed by an unseen threat outside. Her safety is compromised, though Jill remains unaware of the imminent danger approaching her friend in the darkness.

Jill experiences strange occurrences, including unexplained alarm activations and ghostly whispers at the door. The tension rises when another call from the anonymous caller prompts the chilling inquiry about her checking on the children.

In light of the escalating threats, Jill contacts the police, who advise her to keep the caller engaged for sixty seconds to help trace the call. This unnerving procedure raises Jill’s anxiety levels as she continues to feel watched.

While waiting for another call, Jill notices movement in the guesthouse and investigates, but finds it empty. Her search heightens the feeling of dread as she begins to question what is truly occurring around her.

Back inside, Jill looks for Rosa but instead finds her belongings, further deepening her concern. When she finally gets another call, the caller doesn’t speak, yet Jill successfully keeps the line open to assist the police.

The police drop a horrifying bombshell: the calls are originating from within the house itself. This shocking revelation sends Jill into a panic as she frantically searches for the children, fearing for their safety.

In her desperate search, Jill stumbles upon Tiffany’s lifeless body in the bathroom. Stricken with horror, Jill now realizes the full extent of the danger that has infiltrated the home.

When Jill finally locates the children, she discovers that they are hiding in their playroom, terrified and unaware of the deadly threat surrounding them. Jill must now find a way to keep them safe amidst the chaos.

As Jill attempts to escape with the children, she encounters the intruder in the greenhouse. In a fierce struggle, she uses a fireplace poker to stab the assailant, momentarily gaining the upper hand.

After her desperate confrontation, Jill manages to flee and runs into the arms of a police officer outside. The tension subsides somewhat but the trauma of the events continues to weigh heavily upon her.

Days later, Jill awakens on a hospital bed, still shaken from the harrowing events. A ringing phone triggers a horrific memory as she experiences a nightmarish vision of her assailant appearing behind her.

As Jill confronts the shadowy figure in her mind, the scene fades to black, leaving viewers with a chilling sense of uncertainty. The conclusion captures the psychological toll that the trauma has taken on Jill.
