Critics Consensus

One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks.

One big miss of a horror movie.

Rated: D

Screen International

For a would-be frightfest built around a supernatural premise, One Missed Call is so glum and businesslike that it's not nearly as much pulpy fun as it should be.

Those coming to One Missed Call in search of ground-breaking horror have definitely dialed the wrong number.

Rated: 2/5

While not the disaster one might expect, the film remains one call you won't regret missing.

It's not even remotely scary, which leaves the horror fans out. But it's also way too boring to even poke fun at.

Mark Palermo

The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

One Missed Call remakes Takashi Miike's 2003 film as undistinguished college-age horror, except it tries to exploit some people's fear of answering the phone into a feature-length premise.

This movie was amazing , I was born in 1998 this movie came out in 2008 I was still in elementary/middle school but I loved the suspence I could be biased because I watched it when I was so young but this movie is still one of my favorites though not as scary now it’s still a throwback for me I love it ❤️ I don’t understand why people hate or dislike the movie yes there could be better editing or scripting but it’s a horror movie and it definitely has the horror vibe so in my opinion this is an absolute pass from me :) I even keep trying to get my wife to watch it who hates horror anything but I still can’t convince her 🤣

Devoid of any real scares or atmosphere, & poorly written with some legendarily bad acting, this is easily the worst American remake of a J-horror film. Ever.
