God I would've loved to have been alive to see that in the theater during its original run.

I made the awful mistake of watching this movie while I was babysitting my 4 year old cousin. Sure enough, as soon as the beginning scene ended, the phone rang.

I didn't answer it...

[eroupopper]

this movie made me so frightful, i refused to babysit any kids when i was sixteen

I loved this film

i dont get why people always say the 1970s originals are better then the remake... they look like shit, the sound sounds like shit, and the actors act like shit. todays tech in movies is 100x better then tha 1970s crappy movies. whats next people are gona say cellphones are wack and start using pagers again?

@tatosik13 there was more to this than the remake

the remake was very boring and this just seemed more believeable

yes the sounds better and picture better but when peopel say the orignal was better they mean better film not quality

[ArousedGonk]

@tatosik13 You're an idiot.

Funny Story... I remember watching this movie in a near Niagra Falls camping ground on a rainy day. They were suppose to play Flight Of The Navigator but instead the cassette got mixed up in the box and this tape was inside... I must of been around 4 or 5 years old... Imagine a room full of young kids watching this ! Viewer ratings didn't exist back in the 80's ! I was traumatised and so were the other kids ! Remembering Good memories :)

When I saw this movie it scared the shit out of me... an I saw it wth my mom.. she liked it too. One of the best thrillers of the late 70s. What a way to end the 70s with a chiller lke this. The cheap remake was Crap

I;m watching the movie online right now, and it's so very good! It takes turns and angles that is unexpected and very emotional. I only have 5 minutes left of the movie, and I am anxious to see how it ends. But I'm scared too!

The First 20 Min. Of This Movie Was Very Scary !!...When The Cop Says : We trace The Calls , They Comming From Inside The House !!.....I Said 2 My Self WTF !! If Was In That Situation...I Would Be GONE In Less That 1 Second !!!!...LOL !!

[chotzrary]

Quite possibly the greatest first twenty minutes in all Horror genre ever made.

[whywhyzee82]

This is so awesome!  Where'd you find this? Even the official DVD doesn't have a single theatrical trailer, TV spot, etc.

[TheAltair4]

This film was miles better and much scarier than the crappy remake, which was so boring i almost fell asleep during it.

Nice. Film itself is ok, but mostly has a good start/finish and performance by Tony Beckley as the killer. I'm sure the original short film that inspired it "The Sitter", was more effective. Thank you!
