Josh A I feel like this is a really well made horror movie and I'm glad it gets the recognition it deserves. I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. It's a fun, well-crafted horror story that's basically what would happen if Ring and Final Destination had a baby. The concept of a phone call which shows you your death is brilliant, and it was explored well. Probably my favourite scene in the movie is the TV show scene, where we can see the dread on the woman (forgot her name)'s face as she's about to die, and then everything falling into place to recreate the photo we see earlier. Just brilliant. Overall, great film.

Not bad movie, overall its still a great time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Michael S I love this movie as a corny but really fun movie! If you can look past some of the goofy parts you get a fun story with a simple premise and fun kills! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Well made j-horror about a cursed phone call. Sound familiar? Takashi Miike takes what could have been an otherwise dull screenplay and transforms it into one of the best in the j-horror curse/ghost genre. He manages to nail the pacing and even throws in a little body horror. However, the movie still suffers from an overall lack of depth; the film essentially rehashes what has already been done by its predecessors. It just does it better than other imitators. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member "One missed call" follows a predictable formula of Japanese movie with trivial scenes which fail to scare a regular horror film fans but it is effective in creating shock and tension for those who are not really familiar with Japanese horrors. The movie makes attempt to exploit the fear of a casual item, mobile phone. The surprising rings constitute a sense of insecurity and tension as they are omens for potential deaths. It is not that forgettable as it has a good and coherent explaination to link the story to another one smoothly. It is also successful in creating some twists, which keeps viewers awake. The message about family love can be recognised but not very clear or emphasized. Although the film is nothing very special, this is a wise choice for those who are new to Japanese horrors' tropes and don't dare to give more disturbing films a try. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Pues no va y resulta que me estaba perdiendo una de las entregas más interesantes de la época dorada del J-Horror. Sí, bebe de muchos clichés de películas algo mejores como Ringu o Dark Waters, pero su resultado final es más que vistoso. Su historia es interesante y consigue mantener el misterio hasta el final, aunque si se hace un poco enrevesada e inconclusa por momentos. Visualmente está muy por encima de otras del género, al menos en lo que a realización se dice. Si bien algunos efectos no están del todo bien logrados, y algunos trucajes de cámara y edición muy de la época la hace algo distrayente. Un visionado que merece la pena.
