basically and take the concept of every asian horror ghost movie and smash it into one and you get this movie . the story go like this represent a bunch of college kid get voice mail from their own phone that be foretell their death . there some s go on with ghost and which if you have see any asian ghost movie and isn not scary by now . this movie be quite upsetting because it very clichéd . it the same bullcrap and different movie . the acting be pretty good . unfortunately the actor be put into a very ring esquire situation and so it nothing we haven not see in the past . the two lead act do a solid job though . as far a gore and there not much go on . we get a cool sequence that include an arm twist a head off ( i do not know how else to explain that ) and but it be cut away so you do not see anything except the final result . you see some blood at time and include decapitate arm and a zombie ( that look really cool i might add ) and but this movie isn not too bloody . the scare in the movie be few and spread out and and it really not that scary . you will get some creepy image at time and but it not enough for me to consider scary . it nothing different from ringu and ju on and or dark water and and none of those scar me either . that really the downfall of this ( and most asian horror movie ) be that if it doesn not deliver the scare then it just not that good . as far a directing and takashi miike still do a pretty good job . he seem a little tamed in this movie compare to his past movie and but he still portray a lot of his mess up style he become famous for . a lot of image be a lot like miike ( include a scene with a bunch of jar of dead fetus ) and and the last 15 20 minute seem far more miike then the rest of the movie . still and the movie be flaw by it unoriginality . i would recommend this only to people who be huge on asian horror movie ( even if you be and i can recommend much well ) or big miike fan . warn to those who want to get into miike and this be not his best work . i be give it a 4 because it just mediocre . perhaps if this be release 4 or 5 year ago it might be worth a high rating . also and i would like to b about asian horror movie real quick . how come if it an asian horror movie it automatically suppose to be good over here ( u ) . a lot of these movie be the equivalent in japan to what scream and urban legend and and i know what you do last summer be over here in the 90 . if you have see one you have see them all . and a lot of these movie rely way too much on scare and imagery that if it doesn not deliver the scare they set out to do then theyre just not that good and and nothing would change that . more asian horror film need to be more like audition and a tale of two sister and two movie that if they do not frighten or scare you and at least they have great story and act and direction and cinematography and and much more to back them up . two movie that aren not just great horror movie and but great movie in general . more asian horror movie need to be like these instead of the cliché and a ghost just want to be find so it go around kill people through their phone or video tape or house or electric appliance or water pipe or google search engine or vibrator or grocery or etc .
