'One Missed Call': When an Onryō Goes Digital

Second Lieutenant Romppainen and Sergeant Ryhmä are tasked with blowing up the enemy's ammunition depot. They surrender themselves as prisoners in order to easily reach the Russian side. The resourceful friends and their cat Mörökölli cause all sorts of trouble, especially for the tough female commissar Vengrovska, who is more of a pretty opponent than a scary one.
