Director(s): Simon West
The movie is a new adaptation of Fred Walton's movie from 1979, directed by Simon West.
A hundred miles away from a scene of a grizzly murder in small town America, Jill Johnson (Camilla Belle) settles in for a routine night of babysitting. With the children sound asleep and a beautiful home to explore, she locks the door and sets the alarm.
But when a series of eerie phone calls from a stranger insist that she should "check the children", Jill panics. Fear escalates to terror when she has the call traced. And what the police find turns the perfect babysitting job into a 16-year-old's worst nightmare.

To me this movie paled in comparison to the original 1979 version. It was lacking quite a bit in the plot scenario. The whole movie was to be based around the babysitter with the phone calls of "Have You Checked The Chil...
