Review of Phone

Phone (2002)
7/10
Not bad for a half-baked
19 January 2003
In the spirit of `Ringu' and `The Eye', here comes the Korean horror flick, `Phone'. If you had watched those previous flicks, you will taste the same frightening experience as `Ringu' or `The Eye'.

The plot is quite simple, about the domestic disturbance that death comes as the end! With the medium of a phone, a ghostly figure haunting a family, and then someone must reveal the secret beneath it. But one point got to clear here; guys, never ever cheat your wife!

I must admit that I was satisfied with `Phone', but I have this certain feeling that `Phone' is just nothing except a copycat from the previous flicks. `It's been done before' and `I ever watched it' marks stamps over the movie. Even I almost can guess what will come next. Alas, `Phone' is fairly entertaining and had it moment. Thanks for the puzzling story telling by Byeong-ki Ahn. That keep make me stick to my seat! Another plus point must gives to Seo-woo Eun. This little girl is a very extreme talented and made the adult actors like they just act for the very first time.

`Phone' is a half-baked movie but still can entertain with pleasure. If you like Asian horror flick, you might like this.
