A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I watched this movie because I had no other "horror" movie to watch; actually, because I had nothing else to watch.Let's get one thing straight - this movie will not scare you at all. It has the predictable cheap "jump scares" but they're cheap and not scary at all.Let's get another thing straight - this is sci-fi so of course the supernatural stuff does not make any sense at all. The story does not make sense. The ending does not make sense.I remember I fast-forwarded a few times here and there, but in general, I was kept interested most of the time to find out what the big "mystery" was. I personally didn't feel offended by the acting, like other reviewers did.My advice: if you're seeking to get scared, this is not for you. But if you're looking for a mystery supernatural movie about people dying and you having to wait until the end to sort-of find out why, then this one is for you. Watch it with an open-mind, fast-forward if you need to, and you might sort-of like this mystery film.6.0/10.0 seems appropriate in my opinion, especially since I already knew not to expect much. I'll now go check out the original Japanese version of it.

My best friend and I watched this movie at a sleepover, and were both utterly disappointed. I don't know if anyone has already mentioned Final Destination, but I imagine it's better than this. (And I haven't even wasted my time on THOSE movies!) This movie is just useless gore with no real point, but it's worse than any slasher I've ever seen because it presents itself like it'll have a point. Wow. I almost fell asleep watching it, and I was sitting on a hardwood floor at 6:00 PM. Please do just spare yourself and do not waste your time.ONE MISSED CALL~Chie~

Following her friends' strange accidents, a woman comes to believe their claims of ghostly visions from the dead calling them on their phones which soon begins targeting her and joins up with a sympathetic detective to investigate the cause of the attacks and put a stop to it.This here turned out to be one of the more impressive and enjoyable remakes in the style. Among the great qualities here is the rather eerie and generally freaky atmosphere associated within the film as this one really plays off some really great suspenseful ideas. By utilizing the concept of the ghostly curse being passed on through the phones being called setting up some wonderful scenes here, from the thrilling scene on the bridge over the train tracks as the ghostly spirits move around her in great shock scenes, a fine sequence where the opening shot if a hand reaching out of a fish- pond to attack a victim and the rather fun highlight of the encounter at the movie studio where it appears during a hokey televised exorcism attempt that turns into an actual attack with the fog-enshrouded studio and mangled, distorted faces on the statues before the ghost appears in chilling fashion which becomes the best part of the whole film. As well, once the film moves into the investigation of the calls and begins tracing the origins back to the hospital incident that provides the source of his rampage this one gets quite a lot of fun here where that gathering and investigating becomes quite fun as the move that comes out about the incident the better the mystery works where it really sells a rather creepy setup that's perfectly in tune with a ghost rampage. In addition to the great detective work, all alongside the specter of the timeline of her death approaching for even more suspenseful matters, there's the great confrontation in the creepy, chilling abandoned hospital that looks incredibly dark and perfectly suited for a ghostly hideout as the fire-scared hallways certainly gives the crumbling location and dark shadows a great sense of foreboding atmosphere that comes off even better with all the ghosts hanging around before the tormenting action in the hallways leading to the confrontation in the corridors off the side of the room, where a chilling resolution in the air-ducts that settles the film's mystery angle in a pretty chilling manner. All told, these here are what make the film quite enjoyable though it does have a few minor, rather incidental flaws present. The biggest problem here is the tacked on finale, which is lame on all accounts not just for the utterly dreadful CGI used trying to make such a weak-looking being as intimidating which is a big part of this but also how it continues on when it's wholly unnecessary since the plot was already resolved, making this feel tacked on for no reason. Along with the rather tame rating holding back the kills and gore, it's what really holds this one back.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

I guess Hollywood would like to dumb us down by assuming that if you take a bunch of horror remakes and roll it into one film, we would never know the difference. Long gone are the days when horror films were made in the tradition of originality and creativity of George Romero and Stuart Gordon. But I digress, "One Missed Call" falls into the Hollywood rehashing of other horrors like "Ringu", "The Grudge" and "The Eye" only this was based on Japanese remake of Takashe Miike's 2003 horror film about strange phone calls from below the grave.A young psychology student named Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) has been put in an unflattering disposition after a series of eerie unfortunate events as she's become a witness of her friends' deaths as she herself has been internally and eternally scarred from abuse as a child. Before her friends deaths, they all receive chilling messages about their future from their cellphones accompanied by an unorthodox ringtone. The final words come into their own voice and a terrifying scream. After two days their message about their fate comes true and the victims fall to their death.The only person who understands Beth's situation is Det. Jack Andrews (Edward Burns). He knows about this because his sister was one of those victims this mysterious caller has killed. There's very little to do in this situation other then scan through their phones, destroy them and investigate an old hospital that caught on fire a short time ago before Beth gets her own death message. A television program believes that the calls are made by the devil himself and the host of the show made a promise to exorcise one of the victims. Ted Summers (Ray Wise) has invited Beth's friend Taylor Anthony (Ana Claudia Talancon) on his show to be cleansed of any evil inside of her. Once that scene is over, it quickly becomes forgotten. And then it's back to more generic phone records and breaking cellphones.Granted, this movie has its share of frightening moments, but I felt like I've this one many times before with really nothing new to offer. The unlimited images of shadows and and hands materializing through dark areas and bodies twitching with eerie facial expressions before they disappear are quite impressive. The only real scene that stands out above the rest was a the baby with the cellphone and even that scene alone is purely unjustified. All this movie contains are nothing more than just creepy imagery like the ethereal figures that come up near the end of the movie.The performances in the movie really offer very little to the credibility to the movie. With the exception of Sossamon and Burns who provided passable performances, it's a pity what happens in the end to one of them, and overall we cannot provide any care to most of the characters if they did not lighten our hearts. It's like I brought my ticket to the theatre and now I have to sit through not expecting very much.
