Have You Checked The Children
Sony has remade the 70s suspense/thriller When a Stranger Calls. I remember the original scaring the hell out of me when I was young (and doing the occasional babysitting job). This one has been updated: cell phones, caller ID, callbacks, etc. This one seems to try to build on the original, though: it goes a lot further showing the sitter trying to escape from the caller.
I don't see too many of these types of movies. The Sixth Sense may have been the last one, actually. I have my doubts this remake will hold up very well, but I have to admit that childhood memories sent a chill down my spine thinking about it.

My all time favorite "the call is coming from inside the house" movie is "Black Christmas" It's got some truly creepyass stuff in it.
