KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

BA_Harrison I'm not the biggest fan of yūrei-based horror in general (although, strangely, I do seem to have collected rather a lot of them for someone not enamoured with the genre), and judging by it's first hour, Korean contribution Phone didn't look set to change my opinion; in fact, for much of its running time the film could be mistaken for being nothing more than a simple rip-off of Japanese hits such as Ringu, Ju-on and Dark Water, with many of the familiar ingredients in evidence, including a slow-burn approach, lots of rain, fleeting glimpses of creepy kids, and long black hair sprouting all over the place.As the film progresses, though, it thankfully forms its own identity (albeit one influenced by the work of Edgar Allen Poe), the story developing a decidedly more twisted approach, incorporating infidelity, betrayal, obsession and paedophilia into its basic theme of vengeance from beyond the grave.A bevy of attractive Korean actresses also help to make this movie a tad more memorable (gorgeous Jeong-yun Choi as the victim in the film's opening scene, lovely leading lady Ji-won Ha, the aptly named Yu-mi Kim as yummy mummy Ho-jeong, and Ji-yeon Choi as troublesome jail-bait Jin-hie); the best performance of the film, however, has to be from five year old Seo-woo Eun, whose turn as possessed child Yeong-ju is disturbingly convincing.6.5 out of 10, but not quite good enough to be rounded up to a 7.

MovieGuy01 I watched the film Phone, and i thought that it was a great film. It is about a journalist called Ji-won who keeps receives threatening calls on her mobile phone, she has been writing articles about paedophilia, so she changes her number. Her friend Ho-Jung and her husband Chang-hoon invite Ji-won to move to their house which is empty. One day the young daughter of her friends Young-Su picks up her mothers phone and she answers a phone call on her mobile phone, the girl screams and her behaviour towards her mother changes very quickly, and she ends up rejecting her mother. Ji-won keeps receiving weird phone calls,so she investigates her phone number. Ji-won discovers that the original owner of the number, Jin-hee, had vanished and the two next owners of the number have mysteriously died. I thought that this was a great Asian horror film and is one of my favourite films as i watch quite a lot of films from Asia, I thought that the acting in the film was also very good, and had a very creepy feel to it.

ValJay All I can say is, pop some popcorn, turn off the lights and turn up the sound. This movie will entertain and creep you out. The actors do a great job, (especially the little girl), without the traditional overacting you find in this genre. This film is stylishly filmed and directed. Though the film covers some universal paranormal themes, it is still perplexing, surprising and very satisfying. The ending is often predictable in these types of movies, however I didn't see this one coming. I would love to see the little girl in other roles. Her acting is Oscar worthy. M. Night and Steven should use this "sweet" little one in one of their movies. You probably think I'm overstating it, but just watch and tell me if she doesn't do her job creeping you out better than you could imagine! Don't miss this one! It's worth your time!

tomimt Phone begins as a horror movie about a mysterious phone number, that seems to kill people. A reporter, Ji-Won (ji-Won Ha) gets a new number, after she begins to get telephone calls she suspects to be connected on a underage sex scandal she has revealed. But the calls continue.But then somewhere in the middle the plot turns into more of a thriller mystery with supernatural themes in it and the whole ghost thing gets a form of "who did it".The script is okay, but the direction jumps a bit too much from one place to another and lot of things happen very suddenly and unexplained. Other than that the film is okay and manages to give a scare or a two, but it really depends a bit too much to a viewer to make a leap of faith a couple of times too many .
