Plot
In this remake of the Japanese horror film “Chakushin Ari,” several people start receiving voice-mails from their future selves — messages which include the date, time, and some of the details of their deaths.
Horrorfest Administrator Review
The concept mimics “The Ring” yet not nearly as creative or original in any way.  A few tense moments, but no big surprises.  Although a little more creepy, the original film “Chakushin Ari” is not much better than this lackluster remake.

Horrorfest Administrator Review
Good story keeps you well entertained throughout.  Nothing extremely original, just executed quite well.  Much easier to follow than the original film “A Tale of Two Sisters.”
