Edward Burns, Shannyn Sossamon, Ana Claudia Talancón

What will it sound like when you die? In "One Missed Call," a chain of people receive terrifying cell phone messages of their own final fatal moments. Although the messages can be deleted, their num...( read more  read more... )ber is up. Beth Raymond is traumatized when she witnesses the gruesome deaths of two friends just days apart. Even more disturbing, she knows that both of them had received chilling cell phone messages--actual recordings of their own horrifying last moments. Impossibly, the calls were received days before they died, but each death occurred precisely when and how the messages foretold. The police think Beth is delusional--except for Detective Jack Andrews whose own sister was killed in a freak accident that bears a strange similarity to the deaths of Beth's friends. Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to unravel the mystery behind the ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the truth, Beth's cell phone begins to ring with an eerie tune, and the readout says "One Missed Call"...

    One Missed Call is more suspense than horror, but the movie isn't as bad as some reviews would suggest. If you like slasher/gore, avoid One Missed Call. If you want big scares, avoid One Missed Call. If you just like feel a few chill bumps on occasion during a film, One Missed...( read more) Call works. Nothing major here you haven't seen before in some shape or form, but it's a well made B flick.

    Not really scary, not really entertaining, and not really engaging. Unoriginal, boring, and predictable, One Missed Call is the one movie you should miss in 2008.

    Even less scary than Jessica Alba?s Asian /The Eye/, this J-horror remake is guaranteed a, ahem, bad reception. Foolishly, it doesn?t distract you with the original?s great tagline: ?Death cannot be put on hold.? Even more foolishly, it doesn?t distract you with J...( read more)essica Alba either.

    There seems to be an awful lot of Asian horror remakes over the last few years, or should that be a lot of awful remakes?! Personally I like the Ring, well the first at least and the first Grudge but the rest get very bad reviews so far. I have to admit I need to see many of the...( read more) Asian originals to truly compare them still. Not heard much about this previously but for a low budget film I found it quite enjoyable. A bit cheesey and predicatable but the effects were good and there are some very creepy moments and images. Slows a tad in the second half but if you liked The Ring or the Final Destination films, give this a whirl.

    every film they lift from any asian horror film is horrible....why?

    the story was so disgusting,I didnt even wish to watch it but was rather forced to by 3-4 of my friends.

    total waste of time

    didnt make any sense =?
  • November 11, 2009
    i loved this! it was better than the original evn though the original had better death scenes.
  • November 10, 2009
    Cheesy but sort of freaky in certain parts...dolls/teddybears/etc...scary.
  • November 8, 2009
    This one is ok. Scary sometimes but not bloody. Not the best this year but good enough for me. I have to admit, it is not very original. Many tricks we have seen before. Some scary shots are a bit to slow, so they lack the shock effect that was intended.

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Takeshi Miike's original 2003 One Missed Call was second-rate techno-phobic J-horror tripe, meaning that Eric Valette's even lousier American remake is something like the next generation of suck. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

The deadliest call the cast and crew of One Missed Call ever received was the one from their agent telling them that this was the best work available. full review

    82min...lol. Just remember 1 thing, most movies that can't pull it together for a simple 90min's usually suck. The eerie sounds & special effects were what made it ok. But, not worth the watch, Don't rent or steal this puppy. ;) Enjoy.
