Phone [2002]





Phone [2002]
Original Title: Pon
South Korea
Directed by: Byeong-ki Ahn
My Rating: 6/10

Maybe I should be giving this one a lower rating because it didn’t leave much of an impression on me.  It was okay, slightly better than average.  I don’t like ghost stories.  This movie does have some creepy moments.  The ending clears things up and is satisfying.  People have their dark secrets revealed.  Pretty standard stuff for a ghost story.  This film was released in 2002, so maybe it was not standard then, but if it was groundbreaking I certainly didn’t hear about it.

The two best things about this movie are the little girl, most children are terrible actors, but not this one, and the big reveal at the end.  Maybe I just think all children are secretly evil anyway, or maybe I just like to see them say bad words, I don’t know.  If you make it to the end, you might find it rewarding as it’s something that isn’t seen in every dumas horror movie.
