“I’m broke but I’m happy
I’m poor but I’m kind

I don’t know how many of you reading this have ever watched The Ring (Japanese) and The Phone (Korean). Together they introduced a totally new concept of horror movies. The stories were based on curses that were brought upon their victims not simply by evil spirits but also by the technology the victims were using.
