One Missed Call Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Ilikehorrormovies The movie is disappointing to me. I haven't watch the old ones from japan but if I did it'll be better than this film. It was kind of boring like it feels very lazy. It's a lousy rubbish reboot of a classic that failed and never get a sequel ever. The death scenes are creative so yeah that's a good thing. The film pretty much sucks. Also 4.0 is a bit too high, I think 3.7 works
GL84 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.
Kaat1220 I am giving this a ten to balance out all of the unfair reviews. Does this movie reinvent the horror genre? No. However, it has a unique plot and two strong leads with Shannyn Sossamon and Edward Burns. Too many people rate horror movies based on how bloody or action-packed they are. I am one of those viewers that does not want to see bloody arms and legs everywhere. This is a good, solid horror film that does not need a lot of gore to remain interesting. I think that this movie will find its audience and end up being a cult favorite.
ovidnine I have not seen the original this was based off and I've heard its actually good.Do not mistake this film for good.The premise- You get a voice message from the future and that's when you die. (Yeah, you read that correctly...)So, the premise is a bit weak, but hey, maybe it'll be decently written, or acted, or directed?Not really. Stock B (or C) level horror folk populate the movie and you don't ever really grow to care about any of them. Edward Burns character doesn't really seem to have a personality either even as he gets wrapped deeper into the nonsense going on around him.The director feels the need to show a cell phone in almost every shot, as if the cellphone itself is what's terrifying. The cellphone is not, the call itself is as you're going to die whether or not you got around to listening to the voice message.The movie is pretty boring but the last 20 minute or so switch from boring to bizarre. As in "WTF is going on? This makes no sense." It starts to make sense, and then no, it doesn't make sense anymore. If you're really bored and desperate looking for a horror movie, this exists, but I can't recommend wasting any time on it.
