"Take my call if you love me"
PHONE concerns a young investigative journalist named Ji-Won, who begins to receive menacing calls on her mobile phone. Suspecting it is one of the men she recently wrote an exposé on, she has her number changed, but what she hears when her phone rings next is even more disturbing. After her best friend's daughter accidentally receives one of the calls, the girl begins behaving erratically. The only clue Ji-Won has to go on is the phone number that keeps appearing on her laptop, so she begins to look into the people who had her number previously, and what she finds is interesting indeed. <

>I'll be the first to admit that the premise of a supernatural force utilizing a cellular phone seemed hokey but as more of the mystery is revealed, the device seems less and less of a contrivance. But even if this weren't the case, I'd probably still rate the movie highly. It's simply a very effective scary movie, especially during the first half. It won't get under your skin and haunt you like 'A Tale of Two Sisters,' but it should satisfy while viewing. It's also a beautiful movie in all respects. Ignore the clunky title and check it out. <

>The DVD is of very high quality with many extras including trailers, and cast interviews, including one with the very creepy little girl - who is not so creepy in real life, but is actually very funny. There are two deleted scenes, and the little girl gives hilarious commentary on selected scenes (prompted by an interviewer.) There is also a lot of behind the scenes footage. A nice package for a fairly obscure movie.

Original must-see!
I don't see how anyone can compare this to Ringu! Just because there was a Korean "remake" of that movie (Ring Virus)... This one stands on it's own with a solid plot, a talented lead actress, and features possibly the most talented little girl in all of the world as the daughter/possesed child! Show me an American child HALF that talented- her preformance is excelllent and then you get to see alot of her behind the scenes (all subtitled.) The movie is about a reporter who changes her cell number because a stalker is watching her after she wrote an article that lead to exposing a sex circle. The new number begins to ring with unregistered calls of noise. This leads her on a search of people who have had the number who have all died. A creepy story with an ending that makes sense. <
>I personally think a certain murder that started it all was self-defense. Reports that Tom Cruise bought the rights to this film and I can see that it will be ruined, so see it in it's original version!! No one else can play that little girl.

Derivative but Quite Effective Horror Movie
Ji-Won (Ji-Won Ha) is a journalist who has been doing a story about an underage sex scandal that has got a lot of people into trouble. So she is getting threatening calls that force her to change her number. But then things start getting really weird especially when her friends Ho-Jeong (Yu-Mi Kim) and Chang Hoon (Woo-Jae Choi) let her go stay in their empty new house and when something starts getting a bit odd about their daughter Yeoung-ju (Seo-woo Eun). <

>There have been some excellent horror movies coming out of the far east lately. This isn't really one of them, being nowhere near in the same league as Nakata's masterpieces `Ring' and `Dark Water', say. The big problem is that it's pretty derivative stuff, being a kind of hodgepodge of ideas from other movies. Thus we have a modern technological appliance used as a vehicle for an evil curse (as in `Ring'), a sweet adorable little girl being taken over by a strange alien force (as in `The Exorcist'), a vengeful ghost whose presence turns out to be a clue to a murder mystery involving a girl bricked up behind a wall (right out of `Stir of Echoes'), a set-piece scary scene set in an elevator (as in `Dark Water' and `The Eye'), mysterious incidents when a piano is heard playing in what should be an empty room (remember `The Others') and so on. Perhaps the best comparison would be with the recent American `Gothika' in that, like that film, while pretty derivative, it's pretty well made and is effectively creepy and atmospheric enough to be well worth a look if you like this kind of movie. <
