WHEN THE DEVIL'S GOT YOUR NUMBER... Struggling with exams, fending off the advances of a lecherous teacher and unable to find boyfriends, a group of high school girls would sell their souls for a change of luck. So when they call a secret number at the stroke of midnight that urban legend says will make their dreams and desires come true, they don't think they have anything to lose. But when their every waking hour becomes a living nightmare and people start to die, the race is on to uncover the truth. Yet when the Devil himself is on the end of the phone, is there really anywhere left to go? Chilling, gruesome and damn-right-scary, this cutting edge techno-horror is an original and intelligent look at just what price people will pay to get all they dare wish for. The Last Call You Will Ever Make From the producers and team that brought you Apartment 1303.

Katsu (internationally acclaimed actor Kôji Yakusho from Shall We Dance and 13 Assassins) plays a 60 year-old lumberjack who lives in a small, tranquil village in the mountains. When a film crew suddenly arrives to shoot a zombie movie, Katsu finds himself unwittingly roped into assisting the production and is increasing frustrated by the pushy crew, especially the young, seemingly spineless director Koichi (Shun Oguri, the star of Crows 0, Sukiyaki Western Django and Space Brothers). However, an improbable friendship soon develops between Katsu and Koichi, as Katsu comes to see joy in the filmmaking process, and gradually helps Koichi to recover his sense of self. Soon, their bond inspires an unusual collaboration between the villagers and the film crew.
