Hey what’s up guys
Today I’ll show you a horror-thriller film: “The Phone”
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
The film begins with a woman entering the elevator of a building alone at night
As the lift reaches up, its machine suddenly malfunctions, causing a short and mild quake
The woman attempts to leave; but she cannot open the door, and is stuck on the 9th floor
As the lights flicker, the woman sees another lady outside,
turned away from her as she stands at the end of the stairs
The woman shivers in fear, but then quivers as her phone suddenly rings
She answers the phone in distress,
and pleads with the caller not to call or bother her anymore
Whatever the caller said on the phone causes the woman to be in torment and mental pain
The scene then changes to a pretty girl, named Beauty, answering a call from work,
informing her that her recent publication
about a pedophilia scandal has received many negative comments and reactions
Beauty is an investigative journalist known for publishing pedophilia scandals,
which caused her to regularly receive death threats and calls
She informs her work that her recent publication will be her last work,
because she will change her phone tomorrow, and leave without a trace
Later that night, Beauty receives an email containing an edited naked photo of her with blood
At the same time, an anonymous man calls her, and calmly threatens to kill her soon
The following day, while she’s stuck in traffic, the same man calls her,
making her realize that she has been stalked
Beauty drops the call, and maneuvers her car swiftly,
getting to the other side of the road before the truck blocks it
This causes her stalker to be stuck on the other end, while she drives away freely
Beauty goes to the office of her sister,
where she reunites with her sister’s husband and daughter, called Baby
Beauty informs them about what happened;
but she is confident that whoever it is will not follow her anymore
However, the couple are worried about her safety; so they offer their old house for her to stay in
Beauty moves in immediately later that night;
and she smiles happily as she finds a room with paintings of her niece,
and a photo album of her with her sister
After cleaning the room, Beauty receives another email,
containing an edited grotesque photograph of her
Beauty is not bothered by it;
but then her computer suddenly displays a series of numbers; it kinda looks like a matrix
The screen displays a phone number, which last numbers are 66 44
She repeatedly pushes the keyboard; but nothing changes
so she reaches out to an expert
However, even the expert cannot fix her computer
so Beauty takes the cellphone number displayed on the screen instead
After that, Beauty listens to her sister,
who speaks knowledgeably about the paintings in the museum
Their conversation gets interrupted, when Beauty’s phone suddenly rings
She quickly runs to her purse, and turns off her phone before returning to her sister
As the sisters diverse in their conversation,
Baby takes her auntie’s phone, and answers it as it rings again
Baby glares at the sisters, who attempt to take away the phone from her
Then out of the blue, Baby lets out a long and frightening scream
She then breaks down into tears, as Beauty takes away the phone from her
Later that night, after talking to her sister about Baby, Beauty hears a woman sobbing
She follows the voice, leading to the master’s bedroom,
where she finds a woman on the bed, with her long black hair reaching the floor
Beauty slowly walks toward her, when a hand underneath the bed grabs her foot
Beauty gasps in shock and fear, as she wakes up, wetting herself, and realizes it is a dream
The following day, the doctor informs the two sisters
that Baby just needs to recover from the emotional turmoil she experienced,
and she will be back in her normal state
Later that day, Beauty meets up with a good friend,
and tells him about the strange calls she received after changing her phone
Her friend thinks it might be her stalker; so he gives her a self-defense taser
Later that rainy night, Beauty offers a ride home to a wet schoolgirl
As they reach her home, Beauty abruptly steps on the stop pedal,
as a woman suddenly appears in front of her car
Beauty immediately gets out of the car to check; but the mysterious woman has suddenly disappeared
As she returns to the car, her confusion arises as she finds the passenger seat empty
Meanwhile, the sister and her husband are getting intimate in their bedroom,
when they are interrupted by Baby, who suddenly hugs her father tightly
The following day, while they watch Baby play in the park,
Beauty shares with her sister that there were no call records, on the day they went to the museum
Later that day, while Beauty is babysitting her niece,
the little girl suddenly asks her out of the blue if that “woman” calls again,”
and tells her not to scream anymore
This confuses Beauty; but she suddenly sees a woman piggyback riding on her back, instead of Baby
The apparition quickly vanishes, instilling a mixture of feelings in her
The following day, Beauty meets up with her friend again,
who updates her about the mysterious phone number
The telephone department could not trace those strange phone calls, because there were no records
However, her friend found out the original owner of her new phone number
In fact, the previous people who owned the same number, died in an “accident”
On the other hand, when Baby reads her father’s letter to her mother, her mood quickly changes
She glares at her mom,
before smashing and dropping their family pictures on the ground, and then runs to her room
The following day, Baby is taken to a mental specialist for children,
who informs her parents and aunt that what she’s experiencing is normal
Girls of her age experience strong affection towards their fathers;
but it will vanish as they grow older over time
In Baby’s case, she imagines herself with long hair, and wanting to live with her father
Whenever she sees her mother getting intimate with her father, she gets jealous
Later that rainy night, Beauty’s friend gets stabbed repeatedly by her stalker,
who pretended to be in an accident before attacking him
Meanwhile, the sister is left astonished,
after witnessing her daughter make negative remarks about a fairy tale story she read
The little girl leaves the room after cursing, and saying how stupid the story is
At that same time, Beauty arrives at the hospital upon hearing the news about her friend
He is immediately rushed to the operating room, while Beauty prepares to leave the premises
However, she encounters her stalker, who kicks her, causing her to fall from the railings
Beauty quickly grabs the rail; but her stalker wounds her left hand with a knife
before he can move on with her right hand, Beauty’s phone rings
The stalker answers the call, and whatever he hears causes him to go crazy
As he vanishes, Beauty drags herself up to the walkway,
where her curiosity grows, upon witnessing her stalker go mad after answering her phone
Later that night, while asleep, Beauty wakes up to the sound of the piano
As she wanders her sleepy eyes,
she finds a woman with long hair, playing Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” in the mirror
Beauty quickly gets up in shock; but the woman has disappeared
The following day, before leaving for work, the sister’s husband,
who prefers to be called Hormone-rich, asks his daughter to give him a kiss
Baby obliges; but instead of a kiss goodbye, she kisses him on the lips,
like what a wife would give to her husband
Hormone-rich immediately breaks it, causing Baby to slap him on the face
After that, she screams in anger, and scratches her face before pulling her mother’s hair
Meanwhile, Beauty visits the mother of the original holder of her phone number, Jin-hee
Jin-hee’s mother shares that Jin-hee had two phone numbers, before she went missing
The last digits of which are 66 44 and 66 24
The mother let Beauty wander around Jin-hee’s room,
since her daughter had not been found for years after she went missing
While wandering, Beauty finds Jin-hee’s diary, and a photograph of her with her best friend
Beauty continues her investigation by talking to Jin-hee’s former classmate
She informs Beauty that after Jin-hee disappeared without a trace,
there were a lot of theories about what happened to her
They thought she had left with her boyfriend, worked in a bar as a stripper
The ideas worsened to the point that there were rumors that she was murdered;
and her spirit returned to the school
Students and teachers would hear someone playing Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”
on the piano in the music room; but there was no one when they checked it
There was also an instance, where a student received a mysterious call,
and fainted on the bathroom floor upon answering
It is believed that she heard Jin-hee calling for death;
and ever since then, everyone has been afraid to answer their phones,
because it might happen to them too
A scene shows Jin-hee’s best friend’s phone vibrating during class
The friend answers the phone call with trembling hands;
and as soon as she does, the lights begin to flicker;
and the whole class’ phones ring simultaneously
The friend begs the other person on the line to stop,
before picking up a pen and stabbing herself in the ear
After the investigation, Beauty shares with her sister and her husband about Jin-hee,
and the curse of her phone number
Beauty confesses her concern about Baby being in possible danger
She believes that when Baby answered her phone, Jin-hee’s spirit had transferred into hers
However, Hormone-rich disregards Beauty’s theory,
saying that they will take their daughter to a psychologist to be treated
A flashback then shows that the sister was infertile;
so Beauty gave her eggs for in vitro fertilization
Luckily enough, Baby was conceived and born, which changed the couple’s life forever
The following day, Beauty meets up with Jin-hee’s best friend by the ocean,
where the friend shares everything she knows about Jin-hee
It’s revealed that Jin-hee was so happy after getting two phone numbers,
one of which she gave to her lover
No one knew who the lover was, because Jin-hee never revealed his identity
but one thing was for sure; she loved him deeply
Jin-hee’s lover loved hearing Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,”
so she begged her friend to teach her to play the piano
A flashback then shows the friend teaching Jin-hee how to play the song on the piano with emotions
One day, Jin-hee’s lover suddenly stopped answering her calls and texts
During their break time, the friend accidentally finds Jin-hee’s diary,
causing her to discover a shocking truth
as she flips the pages, the friend finds a positive pregnancy test taped in the middle
Before she can freak out, Jin-hee appears and threatens to kill her,
if she reveals to anyone what she discovered
The flashback ends; and the friend shows Beauty that she made herself blind and deaf;
so in that way Jin-hee could not bother her anymore
Later that day, Beauty coincidentally finds Jin-hee’s diary on the bookshelf
She immediately continues her investigation with its content
She finds a family photograph of Hormone-rich
but instead of his wife, it is Jin-hee’s picture
A flashback reveals that Hormone-rich and Jin-hee meet on a rainy night at the bus stop
Hormone-rich offers her a ride home; and while driving, he gives her a luxurious handkerchief
Jin-hee is immediately smitten by his good looks and kindness,
thinking that the old man must be rich in both cash and hormones;
so she disregards their huge age gap, and even the fact that he’s married
The two quickly develop a romantic relationship;
and Hormone-rich brings her to the house Beauty is staying at, and commits infidelity
But soon after, Jin-hee becomes overly attached and needy,
so Hormone-rich leaves her despite her pleas
Days later, Jin-hee discovers that she’s pregnant;
so she repeatedly calls Hormone-rich, but he ignores her
The flashback ends; and Beauty immediately goes to Hormone-rich and confronts him
She believes that Hormone-rich has something to do with Jin-hee’s disappearance;
so she threatens to tell her sister if he does not reveal the truth
Meanwhile, the sister wakes up from thunder rumbling;
and when she wanders her eyes, she finds the living room a mess
Their family pictures are broken and scattered everywhere,
and there is a kitchen knife plunged into one of them
Beauty immediately leaves his office and returns home,
where she receives a distress call from her sister, informing her that Baby has gone missing
The phone call ends;
and Beauty goes out of the house to check the premises, after finding a person standing outside
However, she finds the road empty;
so she returns inside, only to find a possessed Baby waiting for her
Beauty knows that it is not Baby in front of her;
but it’s the disturbed soul of Jin-hee possessing the little girl’s body
Baby plays her father’s favorite song before walking upstairs
Beauty uses this opportunity and calls her sister
The sister arrives immediately;
and the two of them are suddenly locked out of the living room by Jin-hee’s spirit
The two attempt to open the door; but it will not badge
So they can only watch in fear as Jin-hee controls the little girl’s body,
by letting her jump down the stairs
As soon as she hits the ground, the door unlocks
but Baby smiles wickedly at them despite her state
Fortunately, Baby was taken to the hospital before suffering any more injury
Beauty returns to the house, especially her room, as she puts the pieces together
She attempts to remove her computer’s plug
but instead, the whole outlet detaches from the wall
Beauty finds that it is connected to something in the walls
so she holds the outlet and pulls it
The wall tears; and Baby’s portrait painting falls to the ground along with the debris
Beauty is left mortified, as she discovers that Jin-hee’s dead body is hidden in the walls
As she turns around to leave, she bumps into Hormone-rich, who witnesses everything
Hormone-rich leaves the room without a word; and Beauty hurriedly follows him
She quickly rushes to his side, as she finds him unconscious in the hallway
Beauty feels a presence behind her; and as she turns around, she gets tased by her sister
Beauty wakes up, tied and gagged; and her sister confesses to her what really happened
A flashback shows that the sister accidentally discovers her husband cheating on her,
when she and her daughter see him in a car with another woman
Hormone-rich does not notice them and keeps driving
so the sister leaves her daughter at home first, before sneaking into his office
As she does her investigation, the sister finds a phone,
where she finds many texts and calls from Jin-hee
As her husband enters the office, and lies to her about going on a business trip,
the sister realizes that he has no intention of admitting infidelity
Later that night, the sister arrives at a park,
where she surprises Jin-hee, who recognizes her immediately
They go to their house, where Jin-hee condescendingly mocks her infidelity
Jin-hee is so full of herself that she has the guts to answer Hormone-rich’s wife
Jin-hee stands at the end of the stairs,
and mocks the sister that she and Hormone-rich would play hormone games whenever she is gone
The sister has had enough of her condescension;
so she asks her to take an abortion, angering Jin-hee, resulting in a heated physical fight
As they struggle, the sister accidentally pushes her down the stairs
With her last strength, Jin-hee reaches for her phone that only she can use,
to communicate with Hormone-rich
As she has killed Jin-hee and her unborn child, the sister decides to hide her body
She puts Jin-hee’s body in plastic, and nails her hands to the walls,
before placing plastering cement all over it
She hangs her daughter’s portrait painting as a display and distraction for what she had done
The flashback ends; and the sister confesses that she has no regret;
and besides her jealousy of Jin-hee, she is also jealous of Beauty
She is desirous of the fact that her daughter had to be conceived with the help of Beauty’s eggs
After confessing her crime, the sister tases Beauty again,
before checking her husband in the bathroom
The sister staged her husband’s death,
making it seem that he was guilty of Jin-hee and Beauty’s death
She returns to the room, where she dumps gasoline all over them
As she prepares to burn the house down, Jin-hee’s spirit awakens;
and in revenge, she strangles her sister to death
Beauty can only let out muffled screams, as she is gagged and blindfolded
After hours of trying to remove her blindfold and the duct tape,
Beauty finally succeeds, only to find her sister’s corpse
The film ends with Beauty dropping the phone into the ocean, hoping it will end the curse forever
However, the phone still rings as it diverges into the water
