Product 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.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR/PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER UPC: 085391139126 Manufacturer No: 113912

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

Sure this movie isn"t great. But who cares if it won't be nominated for an Academy Award. I only decided to check this out because of Shannyn Sossamon. Was an OK flick. Buy when the price goes down. Or rent. Just see it to make the haters mad.

One Missed Call, yet another PG-13 take on the Japanese horror genre, is a godawful mess from beginning to end. A group of young people start getting mysterious messages on their cell phones, which contain recordings of their own future deaths. Sadly, One Missed Call does little with the premise, other than throw one predictable scare at you one right after the other. The script is terrible with some hideous moments of dialogue, and the film as a whole lacks any kind of real guts and feels incredibly ... Read More

Perhaps I've seen too many horror movies, but this one just didn't do much for me. Though the idea was new-ish (premonitions of death are old hat, but this might be the first case of them being delivered via cell phone) it just fails to be the slightest bit scary or even suspenseful. And when it was all explained at the end I was left with an 'okay, what?' feeling - never a good thing.
I don't think there was enough coherency to the plot, which was stretched a bit thin to... well, I don't ... Read More

When I saw they would be remaking my favorite J-Horror movie in the US I was excited but nervous. Apparently I was right to be so!...it sucked it didn't even end right....they completely screwed that part up!.....Of course I don't know what I expected when they couldn't even get the ring tone right. The original was much better in terms of acting (although I will say the mane female lead did well) and they didn't have the cheap Hollywood scares that the US versions of movies seem so intent on using.....it ...

Overall it was a great movie. Scary and suspenseful. Well worth the money I spent on it.
