Other mistake: After the stranger calls Jill in the guest house, she celebrates the fact that she kept him on the line for longer than a minute. However, this conversation was significantly shorter than their last, and in reality it only clocks in at around twenty seconds.
When A Stranger Calls (2006)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Simon West
Starring: Tessa Thompson, Tommy Flanagan, Camilla Belle, Katie Cassidy
Audio problem: When the children run out of the garden, the girl is screaming, but her mouth is not open.
Stranger on the phone: What are you wearing?
Jill: Combat boots and a parka you jerk, now who is this?
Question: There's a deleted scene that's on the DVD where Officer Burroughs goes to the break room after his first phone call with Jill and he overhears two other officers talking about the murders at the beginning of the film. Even though it's unlikely he could have known then, why didn't he suspect right away that Jill's situation sounded similar to those murders, and that Jill was in serious danger?
