Plot: This time around, we're dealing with a haunted phone game that is targeting lonely men. It's a game where you have to keep a relationship with a game profile. Once your affinity hits 0% or 100%, the game messes with your mind and turns you into a killer. To stop the curse, they'll have to figure out what happened to Erika, the haunted profile.

Mari Asato doing cheap horror filler. It's no surprise the Japanese horror wave had a pretty limited appeal. The market was quickly swamped by an army of copycats that made it much harder to get to the good stuff. Their less-is-more approach made them vulnerable to cheap knock-offs (the found footage niche dealt with similar problems). Cellular Girlfriend is another perfect illustration.
It's another simple curse based on past trauma. The presentation is very minimal, the scares are limited, and the performances are pretty bad. As a short and quick horror filler, the film has some worth, but it hardly stands out in a sea of similar films. Fans of the genre will find some enjoyment here, others can safely skip it.
