Summary: Ghostly Revenge By Way Of The Cellphone
Comment: Directed by Byeong-ki Ahn, the film "Phone" boasts the usual beautiful cinematography one now expects from Korean horror, thriller and suspense films. Many viewers pointed out that this film reminded them of the Japanese film "RINGU." However, as for myself, the film reminded me a lot of the horror films ONE MISSED CALL, and ONE MISSED CALL 2. [The former being directed by Takashi Miike]. What this film lacked, that these two other films had, in my opinion, was a good story, creepy scenes, and a lot more scare factor. This film may appeal to some viewers, as witnessed by the number of those who liked it. However, the film has a few sub-plots going along with the narrative that make this film a bit disjointed.
The film centers on a woman reporter named Ji-won (Ji-won Ha). Ji-won has just exposed a sex ring of several men with underage girls. As a result, this has put her life in jeopardy. She is constantly being harassed through her cellphone with death threats. Furthermore, she is being pursued by one of these men. Therefore, for her protection, Ji-won decides to take up an offer to stay at the Bangbae house of her friends, which is still being renovated by her friends husband, Chang-hoon (Woo-jae Choi). Her friend Ho-jeong (Yu-mi Kim) does not think that the house is suitable, and tries to dissuade Ji-won in a polite way. Yet, with the upcoming trial ahead of her, and for her protection, she takes Chang-hoon up on his offer. There is something ominous in this new house, and I do not wish to give this away.
Moreover, there is something wrong with the young daughter of her friends. Young-ju (Seo-woo Eun) answers Ji-won's cellphone while at an art exhibit, and afterwards begins exhibiting bizarre behavior. The child becomes more attached to her father, and more distant from the mother. Why? What is the cause of this young child's behavior that has changed drastically since she listened in on the cellphone? Plus, something strange is happening in the house Ji-won is now living at. Not only does Ji-won still receive strange phone calls, but she also receives eerie pictures on her laptop computer. Determined to discover what is happening, Ji-won becomes convinced that she and the young child are in danger from a ghost. The film is predictable, and for the most part boring. If you must see the film, rent it first. I did not think this was a particularly good horror film. And what few horror scenes the viewer is witness to is not enough to salvage this film. I recommend viewers rent the film first. [Stars: 2.5]

Summary: Creepy little girl
Comment: The crazy little girl is very, very, scary in this movie. A woman works to uncover peoples secrets and reveal them to the world. When her life is threatened she keeps her guard up. She starts receiving weird phone calls. Her niece also starts to act strange. It's a lovely tail of jealousy and murder. This one is a little complicated but a good thriller all the same
