Takashi Miike directs Ko Shibasaki, Shinichi Tsutsumi and Kazue Fukiishi in this Japanese horror movie where an answerphone message from the future fortells your exact time of death.

Stale J horror with one stand-out sequence. The live TV event based around the countdown to one girl’s cursed end is pretty sweet and sustained. Everything else seems like Ringu scraps.
