The terror started when the phone rang and the receiving party would bear audible witness to their own violent demise, only to come face-to-face with their ultimate doom mere moments later. Now the curse has infected the phone books of its victims, calling every number and spreading death and chaos across all of Asia. Upon uncovering the malevolent source of the deadly calls, the race is on to stop the nightmarish cycle as it rapidly begins to spread out of control. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Derek Elley, Variety
Looking more like the fourth or fifth entry in a franchise than only the second, cell phone horror pic One Missed Call 2 manages to ring up a few genuine scares and a neat final twist.
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a rather worthless piece of work...
Steve Biodrowski, ESplatter
This sequel ... offers up more of the same, but without the directorial flare that helped distinguish One Missed Call from generic Japanese ghost films.

Somehow this film manages to tie itself into the first and have an almost completely different plot, especially in terms of the ghost's M.O. I enjoyed it, but the first is, as usual, superior due to novelty and slickness (it was a Miike film, what do you expect?).

This movie is excruciatingly boring. Following in the footsteps of its average but entertaining predecessor can't have been that difficult, and yet it still manages to drop the ball. There are no interesting elements in the plot. One Missed Call 2 basically takes the main part… More
This movie is excruciatingly boring. Following in the footsteps of its average but entertaining predecessor can't have been that difficult, and yet it still manages to drop the ball. There are no interesting elements in the plot. One Missed Call 2 basically takes the main part of the first movie's storyline - the killer phone call - and streamlines it through the entire movie. None of the slightly ham-fisted psychological elements or anything show up...just tawdry ghost horror.

there were a fewer deaths on this one. the young ghost wasn't really as scary as they wanted her to appear.

Not as good as the first.
