Rating
PG-13
Length
87 Minutes
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.

Plot
Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees return to terrorize the teenage population. Except this time, they’re out to get each other, too.
Horrorfest Administrator Review
While most certainly not up to par with the best films from the Nightmare on Elm Street series, or the Friday the Thirteenth series, this film can be fun for fans of either.  You really have to take it for what it is, a silly idea that many fans always dreamed of seeing.  Yes it could have been done a lot better, but its still a fun one to watch if you can get past all of its flaws and missed opportunities.
