When a Stranger Calls
Movie • 2006 • Horror
ReportSynopsis
Far away from the site of a gruesome murder, a teenager named Jill Johnson arrives at a luxurious home for a baby-sitting job. With the children fast asleep, she settles in for what she expects to be an ordinary evening. Soon, the ringing of a phone and the frightening words of a sadistic caller turn Jill's routine experience into a night of terror.

A police officer looks sick at the sight of a crime scene (which we don’t see) but no gagging or sickness happens.
Later, Jill gags when talking to the killer but nothing else happens and it’s quick and out of disgust

A boy calls and asks what a girl is wearing, to which she scoffs and says she’s wearing a parka.
A girl and a boy are seen dancing close together with her butt close to his crotch, but both are clothed, neither is touching, and nothing happens before it quickly moves to a new scene
