My Phone Is Possessed - Can You Hear Me Now?Review created: 10/13/06

A journalist gets a new phone number and with it a crank calling ghost. Darn these modern inventions! Coincidence after coincidence and the journalist thinks the calls and feeling that someone is after her may be from a story she is writing. Scared and tired of the huge phone bill, she decides to investigate and boy, is she in for a big surprise! Ok, not a very big one for us since it is a bit obvious from early on.
Still, like most Asian horror this one is creepy. the acting is ok and the script is iffy. But that is what makes these films work - they don't make sense all the way through. The story starts solid and falls apart in the second half - this goes for most Asian films including Ringu and Ju-on.
Recommended for horror fans who like them creepy, not gory and especially for Asian horror fans.

Phone (2005)Great film. Excellent acting especially by the child actress who played Su-yeong. Good plot twists that aren't telegraphed 15 minutes before you get to them. Highly recommend this movie.

Over the years, the telephone has been used to scare the living bejesus out of countless horror film characters. From the now cliched "The calls are coming from inside the house!" moments of numerous flicks to the brilliantly demented ramblings of Billy in Black Christmas (and you have to give at least a nod to Wes Craven's Scream as well--the Drew Barrymore call in the first film is classic), the phone is one of the few modern appliances that's really scary despite the fact that it almost never kills anyone. Leave it to the Asians, though, to take things to a whole other level--making the...
