No street view at that address. I'm guessing the street's private property so the little Google car couldn't go down it.

Hitchcock could've done wonders with this movie, what with the killer and crime scene being inside the house the whole time.

he might have had an urge to explain more? that would undo a lot of what works about the film.

This is a great movie to watch when moving into a new house and your attic is right outside the bedroom door. :p

Maybe, but he's never really had a killer like this in any of his movies, either.

he could have squeezed it in, between frenzy and family plot. would have been cool to see him do a more defined slasher, as he laid some of the groundwork earlier.

I'll bet When A Stranger Calls was completely inspired by the attempted tracing of the phone call in this movie.

Hard to say. You usually don't see her come up, but there's really nothing negative about her to not have her on a list.

I wouldn't think to put her at the top, but there's really nothing wrong with her as a final girl.
