Oct 2013

movies (for me) didn't have blood or overt violence in it.

It was the original "When a Stranger Calls".

Like you said, the same old stalking-the-defenseless-female plot...

but the tension builds and builds and finally the cops call the babysitter and tell her "He's calling from inside the house".

OMG. Just typing that out gave me the chills!!!

Anyway, I saw "Pulp Fiction" also, and totally didn't get it. The appeal of it, I mean.

I'm probably a little too literal for some of the really deep stuff...
