Journalist Ji-won (Ha Ji-won) has just brought a child sex ring to trial,
but for that her life is threatened by someone ... so she decides to huide out
in the empty house of befriended couple Ho-jung (Kim Yu-mi) & Chang-hoon
(Choi Woo-jae) for a few weeks to finish writing a book, & she even changes
her phone number, just to make sure to be undisturbed. But instead of finding
peace & quiet in her little hide-out, the problems really start, when
Ji-won starts receiving weirder & weirder phonecalls, having nightmares,
& one day, when Ho-jung's little daughter Young-ju (Eun Seo-woo) picks up
her phone, she's scared half to death ... & that's not all, from then on,
she is not the same again, openly expressing hatred towards her mother, love
towards her father ... Naturally, Ji-Won's first group of suspects are the
child abusers, who have really sent a hitman after her, & he is able to
find her out & already prepares to kill her ... when her cellphone rings,
he for some reason picks it up ... & is frightened to death ... Ji-won
soon sees a connection between all the weird goings-on & her new cellphone
number, & she makes inquiries about the former owners of that numbbers, to
find out that 2 of them have died under mysterious circumstances after
receiving a series of weird phonecalls, the first ever owner of the number,
high school girl Jin-hee (Choi Ji-yeon) has disappeared under very mysterius
circumstances, & was probably murdered ... It turns oput she had a secret
love affair with an older man ... & that older man was Chang-hoon. &
everything indicates that he might have killed her, but she has now possessed
the body of his daughter Young-ju ... but then how come she still believes in
their love ? Eventually, Ji-won finds Jin-hee, immured in the living room
wall of Ho-jung & Chang-hoon's house, but Chang-hoon, having grown wise to
Ji-won, already stands behind her & ... is knocked out by his own wife
Ho-jung, who had found out about her husband's affair & has killed jin-hee
in a fit of rage after she had found out Jin-hee was pregnant from her husband,
while she could only bear Chang-hoon a child thanks to the eggs of Ji-won. Then
she walled her in to escape prosecution (but didn't take into account Jin-hee
would come back from the dead ... & who would ?). & now, to escape
prosecution once more & to not be seperated from her daughter, she figures
she has to kill both Ji-won & her husband, as well ... when Jin-hee's
corpse seems to come alive & frightens her to death ... Very
creepy ghost story, that features more twists & turns alsong its narrative
that you would come to expect ... & manages to stay believable (within the
realm of horror, of course) throughout. That the direction shows a genuine
flair for atmosphere & suspense does help bringing this wonderfully
constructed story to life, naturally.
