If anyone thinks any movie is 100% original, much less any religion, consider this.
Younger generations remember "Scream" where at one point, police were telling the scared female that the call was coming from within her house.
So last night not being able to sleep, and hating ads I switched to TMC, because they don't have commercials or giant bugs on the screen, and I will put up with a crappy movie if it keeps my attention over having to change the channels to avoid ads.
So anywho, last night, very late night, I stumbled on a movie called "Black Christmas"(1974). Turned out to be a thriller/horror. The ladies at a local sorority kept on getting obscene phone calls. One by one the killer managed to kill the girls and hide them in the house without the others knowing, especially the main character. She finely convinced the police to trace the phone calls, and what do you know, the script called for the police to inform her that the calls she was getting were coming form within the same house.
More irony. I saw "Black Christmas" for the first time overnight last night. BUT, it was not the first motif of "tracing" a phone call I had seen even way before Scream.
There was an episode of the original Hawaii Five O, where a phone company employee was tracing the accepting call, by walking through the local phone company relays, following the wires, to get to the caller.
