Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

Description:
It happens to one. Then another. And another. College students discover eerie voicemail messages on their cell phones. Each call comes from the near future. Each call has the chilling voice of the student during his or her last moments alive. And each call comes true. Terror is One Missed Call away in this got-your-number shocker based on the hit Japanese thriller Chakushin ari. Does the viral spree of calls have a single source? Is there something that links the victims? Psych student Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) and detective Jack Andrews (Ed Burns) scramble for answers. And they're working fast. Because Beth just discovered an ominous message.

- Terrorific
This movie is a very good horror movie that keeps you guessing and screming till the last terrorific moment. Everything about this movie gives you the creeps and the suspence, not uncomperable to "The Ring."

Rating:

- Pretty Dismal...
In the tradition of The Ring and The Grudge, this is yet another attempt to capitalize on the once-successful franchise of Japanese horror film remakes. However, this movie barely registers on the richter scale. It plods along and by the middle of it, I found it almost laughable. It leaves one to wonder what the original film was like and whether it was as incongruous and silly. Shannyn is a good actress and would be better suited for more original material. Only watch this if you feel ghosts ... Read More

- not worth watching, but if you DO have to see it... it's not the worst thing ever
I guess there's no need to explain what REALLY makes cell phones scary! No no, it's nothing to do with shadow people coming out of nowhere, or mysterious sounds and images that appear out of nowhere. Cell phones are scary because, well, you know. Like I said, no need to explain what makes them scary! Just go driving or go to the movies for further proof!

Anyway, this isn't really THAT bad of a movie. It tried to have a spooky atmosphere, and it tried making the kill scenes interesting. ... Read More

- One Missed Irony
I did enjoy this film. Its not as good as THE RING ( english version) or even the THE EYE ( Asian version, I have not yet seen the english version); however, the one consistent comment that is annoying when it comes to polarising films like this, is the use of terms like "true Horror Fan". I eventually want to see the original version, and its neat that there's a cute cover model, but Things like the Cover of the english version of ONE MISSED CALL are never given any credit ( minor point). Anyways, wether ... Read More

- Yet another disappointing remake of a truly creepy Japanese original
Subtlety. It's what makes Japanese horror so effective - and American remakes of same so ineffective. Japanese horror directors have mastered the art of subtlety, but it's still an alien concept in Hollywood, which explains how a remake that follows the original film's story fairly closely can turn out unrealistic at best - and downright silly at worst. Hollywood thinks CGI is the answer to everything, especially in horror movies, and I'm at a loss as to explain why they continue to think the C in CGI stands ... Read More
