Segment 1: "Happiness" – The Cell Phone Curse
Director: Yongyoot Thongkongtoon
Plot: A paralyzed young man named Pu is confined to his apartment. His devoted girlfriend, Pin, visits him daily. To help him pass the time, she gives him a mobile phone. One night, Pu receives photos from an unknown number. The photos show a woman in a room, but each image reveals more—the woman is covered in blood, and the final picture shows her standing right outside Pu’s bed.
