Ring ring, ring ring - Phone (2002)

I love horror films with phones in them; the stalked babysitter, the threatened wife, the Asian actress screaming down her mobile at some supernatural voice on the other end.

Phone is an interesting one, set in South Korea. Journalist, Ji-won is being plagued with nightmares or flashbacks of the usual mysterious girl with long black hair over her face, ever since she uncovered an underage sex scandal. When she goes in to hiding at her sister's second home, she is pestered by a male caller who seems to be watching her.

One day her sister's little daughter, Yeong-ju answers her phone and begins to scream hysterically. Little Yeong-ju starts to lose the plot a little here and begins to show signs of the rather uncomfortable condition, the Electra complex, where a daughter becomes sexually attached to her father becoming increasingly hostile towards her mother.

This little girl manages to deliver one of the most mesmerising scenes I've ever seen from a child. During one of her "turns" she locks out her mother and aunt and stands at the top of the stairs wildly gesticulating and screaming, suddenly spitting out the haunting question, "Which one of you two will die for me?!" Or, "어느 날 두 사람은 죽을 것이다?!" She then proceeds to throw herself down the stairs, landing on the floor in a bloody mess. We discover that she has been possessed and the real reasons for her obsessions which are more sinister.

This is a pretty good example of a girl-with-long-dark-hair-over-her-face film. Who doesn't like those? An American remake is a possibility this year.
