One Missed Call (2008)

So much average

best movie i've ever seen.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

My best friend and I watched this movie at a sleepover, and were both utterly disappointed. I don't know if anyone has already mentioned Final Destination, but I imagine it's better than this. (And I haven't even wasted my time on THOSE movies!) This movie is just useless gore with no real point, but it's worse than any slasher I've ever seen because it presents itself like it'll have a point. Wow. I almost fell asleep watching it, and I was sitting on a hardwood floor at 6:00 PM. Please do just spare yourself and do not waste your time.ONE MISSED CALL~Chie~

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.

OK, that's the last time I take a chance on a movie with that low a score.This might be the longest 87 minute movie I have ever seen. You know when you are just waiting for a movie to be over? Yeah, that's not a good thing, agree?This movie is absolutely not scary. It totally fails on creating tension. Someone is walking down the street and, oh, look! a creepy ass face.. Huh. Oh, there's another one! In the middle of the day - better just keep walking! Yes, the faces are kind of creepy, awfully CG-looking, but creepy, but they do not scare. And another thing, these people are seeing these creepy faces and stuff, and never do they ever react like a normal human being. Do they tell any one? Nope. A normal person would go: "whoah, I just saw a ghostly super creepy face in the window, what the hell"!? Instead they just, uhm, you know, keep totally quiet. Even when someone else is right there with them. The pacing is strange, the CG is poor, the story is.. it could have been cool, but it's wasted. The movie does slightly redeem it self towards the end, slightly though. It's still pretty darn crappy. The director could have gone for creepy, chose crappy.There are a couple of scenes that are, well, not terrible, I'll give the movie that, but that's not much though.Skip this one. I think I'll check out the original sometime. The director and actors never even saw it, so it's probably very different and much better.

One Missed Call (2008): Dir: Eric Valette / Cast: Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, Ray Wise, Ana Claudia Talancon, Azura Skye: Although the title can be a reference to death, perhaps it's the film's viewers that would be grateful to miss it when flipping through channels. Lame plot regards a bunch of missed cell phone calls where victims can hear their own deaths. Victims die then a small red candy rolls out of their mouths. This makes absolutely no sense but director Eric Valette goes for style while the screenwriter went for complete nonsense. Shannyn Sossamon tries hard to hold a straight faces within this nonsense of a plot. She holds her own after witnessing the deaths of a few friends. From there she attempts to solve the case thus rushes about trying to find answers. Edward Burns plays a cop who seemingly believes her because his sister was killed in a similar way. Intelligent viewers will see this character as nothing more than a potential romantic interest for Sossamon. Ray Wise, Azura Skye and Ana Claudia Talancon also appear although I sure hope they are not proud of it. The original When A Stranger Calls used the whole prank call theme to chilling extremes. It also provided strong characters and a villain that is beyond bogeyman standards. This however, is a pointless and nauseating wreck that should be stomped upon as done with cell phones in this stupid film. Score: 3 ½ / 10
