A brief, unsettling supernatural prequel built on dread and the intrusion of an inexplicable, malevolent presence into an ordinary moment.

A young man on a bicycle is turning a corner in front of an apparently abandoned building when he begins to hear the ringing of a cell phone. (A prequel to the first version of Ju-on, 2000.)
