What have rapidly become the standard conventions of the Asian horror film: technology as the source of terror and estrangement, a female protagonist pitted against a vengeful female ghost, and an endangered child at the center of events. Ji-won is an investigative reporter who begins receiving a series of mysterious and increasingly threatening phone calls. She does everything possible to stop the calls, but to no avail. When her young charge answers the phone accidentally and begins shrieking in terror, it becomes apparent that Ji-won will need to use her journalistic skills to discover who - or what - is making the calls.

A very elegant ghost story. I found the ending to be very satisfying, and was pleasantly terrified throughout.

Not the scariest Korean film but very engaging storyline that starts off rather complex but becomes clearer towards the end, have some patience :)
And worth alone to watch for the child actor, she is brilliant and one part was a little crude but had me in a fit of laughter because she just acted it soooo well!!! Definantly one to watch!

This movie made me jump alot. Vengeful ghosts, screaming kids with wierd eyes and more twists and turns then you can count makes for a great suspense movie. You'll never guess the ending. Worth watching.

More derivative, stylish nonsense from Ahn-Byung Ki.

If you like ghost with long hair,eerie places, strange noises, a screaming kid, and a nice twist to the ending then this movie is for you.
One of my faves supernatural thrillers along with dark water,the eye and tale of two sisters
