When a Stranger Calls Back is a 1993 American made-for-television psychological horror film and a sequel to the 1979 classic When a Stranger Calls which reunites stars Carol Kane and Charles Durning (reprising their roles as Jill Johnson and John Clifford, respectively) with director Fred Walton from the original film.

Julia comes to believe the intruder is entering her apartment while she's sleeping and decides to stay with Jill until she feels safe to return to her own home.

Having been through a similar situation years before, Jill and a reluctant John investigate the incident from Julia's past and conclude the stalker may be a ventriloquist capable of throwing his voice; he employed this skill to make it seem like he was outside when speaking to Julia during the original stalking incident when the Schifrin children were kidnapped.

Having returned to her apartment, Jill notices a carton of juice bearing the faces of the abducted children Julia babysat.

Frightened, she arms herself and the offender begins to taunt her; he is seen wearing makeup that allows him to "disappear" from sight against Jill's apartment walls.

The film debuted on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2018, in a limited collector's edition released by Second Sight.

It includes a new 4K scan from the original camera negative, Walton's aforementioned short film, and interviews with the cast and crew.

[6] Dennis Schwartz of Ozus’ World Movie Reviews rated the film a grade B−, calling it "a decent nail-biter that plays on the tension it builds up, despite its gaps in logic".
