There's no question that there is nothing original about PHONE, a South Korean film that tries to find yet another angle on the popular RING horror films. This time around the object of phantasm is cellphones, or specifically a particular phone number.
PHONE is, as mentioned, not very inventive or original, but it does work in the sense that its scares are well done and the audience will liable to jump at some of the boo scares. There's no question that PHONE is a quickie film, made for a quick buck, but that doesn't mean it didn't do its job.
It does.
