My opinion : I definetely love Asian horror movies! this one has a creative plot : a haunted cellphone that informs you when you will die. I love how the Japanese people can mix supernatural with technology! A creative plot, an unexpected plot twist, scary scenes, an eerie atmosphere.... A movie you have to see if you're a fan of horror movies!
Asians are the best at horror movies!
NB : The video all above, is the haunted ringtone with which the characters receive the messages on their cellphones. I didn't find an accurate scene of the movie on Youtube, and the trailer is not really good, doesn't make you want to see the movie. So I put the haunted ringtone instead. :)
Oh, this sort of reminds me of the subplot with the phone calls that kill people in Ringu!
