**POSSIBLE SPOILER** Think I might be confusing two movies, please help


**POSSIBLE SPOILER**

I saw the second half of movie that was either called When a Stranger Calls or When a Stranger Calls Back. I saw it on TV and I think one of them is a TV movie and the other is a film movie. I would like to see the movie again but I don't know which one to see. Can you please tell me which version has the scene I will describe below? I saw the recent remake of When a Stranger Calls and the scene I want to see was definitely not in it.

The movie I want had one of the most unexpected endings I have ever seen. A woman is in an unlit apartment and the killer is calling her name but she cannot see him anywhere, somehow she is knocked out and a detective then enters the apartment. The detective then starts shooting at the walls of the apartment and you see that the killer was standing in front of a wall, but could not be seen because he had painted himself the exact pattern of the wall. I LOVE THAT SCENE!!!!

If the movie with this scene was the TV movie, did this scene also occur in the film movie? (I am making the assumption that the TV movie was based on the film movie.)

I thank you in advance for any and all help!

The TV movie is actually a sequel to the original Film. It has recurring characters.

That scene you mentioned is one that has stuck with me for a long time. I watched this movie when i was 5, my parents weren't home, and i've never forgotten about it, but i could never place the movie. I happened to be nagged into watching the recent remake by a bunch of friends, and when i realized it was very related, i came on IMDB and found the movie i was looking for (and that you are refering to), its ofcrouse called When A Stranger Calls Back.

But i would recommend you watch the both of them because they are both pretty good.
