One of the Most Scary Beginning of a Movie Ever
Julia (Jill Schoelen) is babysitting two children, when a stranger knocks at the front door, asking for using the phone to call the Automobile Club to fix his car. After some tense discussion through the door, she realizes that the children vanished and the stranger is inside the house. Five years later, odd things happen to Julia, and the psychologist Jill (Carol Kane) and the private investigator John Clifford (Charles Durning) help Julia. This movie has one of the most tense and suspenseful beginning I have ever seen. The situation through which Julia passes is amazingly real and scary. Unfortunately, the story `jumps' to five years later and become very common, predictable and full of clichés. I really feel sorry for that. The voice and accent of Carol Kane is irritating. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): `Um Estranho à Minha Porta' (`A Stranger At My Door')
