One Missed Call


Product Details


Yet more modern technology falls prey to the influence of eeeeevil spirits in One Missed Call, a horror flick following firmly in the footsteps of The Ring, Pulse, and other remakes of Japanese creepfests. Good-looking young people are receiving voice-mails that prefigure their gruesome deaths; Beth (Shannyn Sossamon, 40 Days and 40 Nights) and Jack (Ed Burns) race against time to find the source of this cell-phone curse, leading them to a dark and treacherous burnt-out hospital. Little is fresh here--One Missed Call apes every other Japanese horror remake, using corpse makeup, blurry images at the corner of the screen or just out of sight, lots of ambient rattles and gasps, spooky-looking children, and the slow, trembling turn towards a ringing phone... which stopped being scary about four or five movies ago. But for fans of this particular subgenre, One Missed Call may evoke the warm, enjoyable familiarity that devotees of 1970s horror feel towards the repetitive output of Hammer Films. Ray Wise (Reaper, Twin Peaks) has a bit of fun as a cynical TV producer; comedian Margaret Cho has such a brief, throwaway part as a skeptical cop that one wonders if the rest of her role is on the cutting room floor; and Meagan Good (Brick, Stomp the Yard) gets prominent billing but is hardly in the movie at all. --Bret Fetzer

Product Reviews


(3 stars) - IT WAS OK.
This movie was ok. Nothing spectacular. The nurse that was supposedly burned alive at the hospital who crawled in the vent looked fake when it attacked Beth. Once the character Taylor got her phone/video message, she was done for. Yet, she and Beth destroy their phones. At that point, it's too late, you already got your "missed call"!



(5 stars) - GOOD MOVIE
I liked the movie alot. Does anyone know if the cell phone ring tone on the movie can be Downloaded anywhere?



(4 stars) - Worth watching
Worth watching, I will say it isn't the greatest and I am into horror movies. Watch the movie Drag Me To Hell and you would probably give this movie 5 stars!



(1 stars) - NO! I Don't Need New Long Distance!
I really tried to remain as open minded as possible when I popped this film in because I kept hoping it would end up being better than Takashi Miike's mediocre mess, how hard could it be right? I mean when Hollywood remakes fantastic films fans can pretty much expect the worst but in this particular case they had the opportunity to only improve things.

Unfortunately, yet another J-Horror remake was flubbed. No big surprise really. One Missed Call delivers insulting product placement (Boost Mobile) aimed at children with disposable income, absolutely moronic characters that commit senseless acts of unimaginable stupidity, a criminally underutilized Ray Wise and a finale that ends up being a jumbled, convoluted mess. Sossamon and Burns' one-dimensional characters were hard to connect with (even with Sossamon's lame back story) and when all was said and done I found myself enjoying only two sequences. Two nifty sequences do not make a movie though.

I was incredibly disappointed with this film and it's just another disappointment in what seems to be a very long line of disappointments when it comes to Hollywood remakes of superior Japanese filmmaking. Isn't it funny that Miike's blow-off cinema is still better than the big budget remake steamers Hollywood drops? There's just nothing here worth seeing folks, I wouldn't lie to ya. If I thought this was a good film, I'd say so. Now, I won't exaggerate and insist this is the worst piece of trash I've ever seen but it is most definitely the stupidest film I've seen in a good many months.



(3 stars) - america's critic
I thought this was pretty good some parts were dulled out but for the scares and screams it can get ya, i give one missed call 3*
