While out on a drive with his wife and daughter, businessman Hideki pulls over to use a payphone. He finds a newspaper in the phone booth and looks at it... to his shock, it has an article about his daughter dying in a car accident. He keeps reading, and it says she dies right about now. His wife gets out of the car for a second, and just then, a truck rams into his car, killing his daughter. Then, the newspaper fades away. After this moment, Hideki's life changed forever. He is now obsessed with finding out more about these mysterious newspapers that foretell the future. He searches for other people who, like him, have seen these newspapers. Will Hideki be able to find out the secret behind these newspapers? ~~ Adapted from the manga "Kyoufu Shinbun" by Tsunoda Jirou. Edit Translation

Reviews
Pros:
- Fascinating concept that makes the viewer ponder many possibilities
- There is a sense of urgency and panic that creates an unsettling feeling throughout the whole movie
- Some genuinely haunting imagery and themes that are memorable
Cons:
- Very few of the story elements are coherent (even after the conclusion)
- The movie is silent too much, which makes the viewer lose attention (and likely will induce sleep)
Final thoughts:
There you have it. The story is a total mess; it sounded promising, but didn't do much in the end. I'm not sure the actual creepy parts are even worth the journey. It was a struggle to maintain interest and stay awake for this one.
