I know, I know! He just compared Wolf Creek to House of Wax... Please forgive him, he's young and innocent! Time for my first film review, of course being older and far more cultured I'll be specialising in reviewing International Films, let's get to it then.

First up for review (contains spoilers - pay attention because this film is rumoured for a US remake) in the 'International Cinema' section of We Belong Dead is Byeong-ki Ahn's 2002 film Phone ("Pon"). In this film from South Korea, A reporter called Ji-won is forced to get a new cell phone when someone beings threatening her. Figuring it has to do with the under-age sex scandal story she wrote, Ji-won asks her sister if she can stay at her new house. She agrees and Ji-won moves into the spare bedroom, even though the whole house is empty. The calls continue on her new phone and her sisters six-year-old daughter, Yeong-ju, answers the phone accidental one time and immediately begins screaming in terror. Ji-won tries to find out who's calling her from the phone company but the records show no strange numbers. Then Ji-won's stalker suddenly confronts her. However, just as he's about to attack her he too answers her cell phone and drops to the floor, dead. Now with no clue as to who is phoning her, Ji-won digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the numbers first owner, a high school girl named Jin-hie. As Yeong-ju's behaviour becomes increasingly alarming, she confesses to being in love with her father. Researching further, Ji-won discovers Jin-hie was in love with an older man. Before she can find out anymore, eerie goings on at the house she's staying at lead her to uncover a body behind the wall... Jin-hie's body. It all transpires (through flashbacks, who's having them I'm not sure) that Ji-won's sister murdered Jin-hie when she found out her husband was having an affair with Jin-Hie. So what you gonna do? Well, Ji-won's sister decides to murder her husband first than her sister. Although as she's pouring petrol over a bound and gagged Ji-won the vengeful spirit of Jin-Hie can finally seek her revenge - By murdering Ji-won's sister. Of course when Ji-won unties herself it's all over, and now it really is all over. Ji-won takes a walk to the beach and chucks the haunted phone into the ocean. With a tremendously fast plot and hardly enough scares, Phone won't be the Korean choice of film for everyone (especially when there are so many others to choose from, a lot more gripping than this). Still, in the end it's not a bad film, I just felt it tried to tell the audience far too much, and that meant that in the first hour you've got to take in a lot of information, some of it inevitably pointless. This may be the first ever Asian film which would actually suit a Western-remake! Ditch some of the sub-plot and concentrate on the fact that a ghost is stalking you through the phone!
