Well the caller kept asking her to check the children then finally asked why havent you checked the children? Plus when she asks what he wants then he replies, Your blood all over me!!! Personally, id be pretty creeped out by that myself. I highly doubt the children would do or say anything like that.

I must say that the beginning of this film was as awful as its remainder. Let's briefly examine what so many people say is one of the 'scariest' moments in horror movie history.
A babysitter gets some creepy prank phone calls (has a logical overreaction), calls the police who say they'll trace the longer calls, then talks to the caller again who conveniently talks longer then ever before. Finally, she speaks again to the policeman who fearfully tells her to immediately leave the house because the call is coming from another line within the house.
Who reacts like that to prank phone calls? Why would the policeman not assume that the call came from one of the children that she was sitting or some other relation of the household, but rather from some maniac which was the impression I got from his tone when he informed her to immediately get out of the house. This thoughtless conveyance is the hallmark of bad writing. It is a false, baseless tension which I can not relate to. It is not genuine.
