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

Dont Waste your time.

Pretty generic but still creepy
Ok so the movie had plot holes and a pretty funny scene where the poor cat can't even avoid the evil but other than that it did creep the ______
out of me. I put my phone to silent after watching this!

HEY - A CELL PHONE THAT WORKS IN A HORROR MOVIE! WahoooOO!!!!
It is releiving to finally find a horror movie which doesn't include some variation on "no cell service in your area", "no signal", or "I'm not getting any bars." I am so tired of this cliche in every horror movie...

OK - I've vented enough.

This was turning into a really good movie, until about halfway through, when the Ed Burns characted comes more into play. Then, the plots holes, wooden acting, and all-too-convenient happenings take over. Still, I'd give it three stars - good to rent, not to own.
