Question
I'm trying to find out the name of a movie which consists of a killer who is able to blend into a brick wall and jumps out when he is about to kill someone.  When he is in the wall, you can see only his eyes, looking about.  Unfortunately, I do not know who starred in it and when it came out.  This has been a trivia question which has puzzled us at my job for many months now.  I hope you can help solve it.

Answer
Hello Christine,

This was a 1993 made-for-TV film called "When A Stranger Calls Back". It starred Charles Durning and Carol Kane, and had some brilliant photography at the end where the killer is seen as part of the brickwork.

It was a sequel to the 1979 film "When A Stranger Calls", which itself has recently been re-made. There is talk of re-making "When A Stranger Calls Back", with the provisional title of "When A Stranger Returns".

Glad to be of help. Cheers..........Mel.
