The following morning Andrews and Beth set off to research geriatric nurse Marie Layton, originator of the calls. She raises it and views a video of her apparent demise. As a consolation, Beth removes the batteries from their cellphones to render them unreachable.

Beth arrives home and finds her friend Taylor Anthony distraught by a premonitory feeling of being the next victim. They discern an indeterminate interrelation between the events, and Andrews provides his contact card.

He mentions that his sister Jean interned with Shelley Baum at Saint Luke's hospital and died two days prior. The next day Beth seeks aid at a police department and is introduced to detective Jack Andrews. A red candy is ejected from his mouth, and he collapses. An acetylene tank explosion from the adjacent construction site launches debris into the air, and rebar impales Brian's torso. He shows her the voicemail received post-mortem from Leann's phone, dated minutes away. Beth encounters him outside a coffee shop. At Leann's funeral, her ex-boyfriend Brian Sousa departs after experiencing hallucinations. A red candy pops out of her mouth, and her severed hand dials a number on the phone it's holding. Beth rushes to her location but arrives just as Leann falls off an overpass and gets hit by a train. In the ensuing days, she undergoes disturbing hallucinations and calls Beth for solace while heading home after a study session. She unfolds it and hears an eerie voicemail of herself, dated June 12, 10:17 PM three days in the future.

Leann's cellphone rings in a lullaby-esque ringtone, with a call from Shelley. Days later, college students Beth Raymond and Leann Cole discuss Shelley's funeral. A red candy then appears on the pond's surface. As she bends toward the pond to investigate, a hand grabs her and pulls her under the water. A scene transition occurs, and undergraduate Shelley Baum, while sitting outside, hears her cat meowing over the koi pond followed by a splash. It became the worst-reviewed film of 2008, receiving a 0% rating approval on Rotten Tomatoes, and winning a Mouldy Tomato Award.Ī young girl gets rescued from the blazing Saint Luke's hospital, and a paramedic inquires where her mother is, to which she remains speechless.
