About
If you want a Korean ghost-and-phone mystery that builds dread and delivers scares, you’ll likely enjoy Phone; Not for you if you dislike derivative horror or want consistently fast pacing like The Ring or One Missed Call.
Pros: creepy mystery; strong suspense; standout child acting | Cons: slow midsection; familiar setups; uneven tone
