Leave your thoughts about One Missed Call.
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovFor a film like One Missed Call to be frightening or good would have required far more art and intelligence than this shoddy little production could possibly muster. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBorrows so heavily from the corpus of J-horror flicks, and especially Hideo Nakata's, that it should really be titled The Ring Tone. |
| NewsdayJan StuartGiven all the hoopla over the Apple iPhone, it's a wonder that no one has yet complained over an essential missing feature: It doesn't ring you up to alert you that you are going to die. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsIf you missed the first One Missed Call, made in Japan in 2004, you now can miss the American remake. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasOn the shortlist for least essential movie of the decade, a copy of a copy of a copy that's so worn down, it's about as fresh and vital as a fifth-generation dub of "The Star Wars Holiday Special." |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyIf the first wide release movie of 2008 is an indicator of the kind of year a writers' strike Hollywood has in store, we may all be watching DVDs. |
| Projection BoothRob HumanickA market-spawned Happy Meal trinket lacking both skill and wisdom |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussAs Lead Belly might sing, to the tune of 'One Meat Ball': 'You get no thrills/ From One Missed Call...' |
| TV GuideKen FoxThe result is yet another tired, ultimately incoherent horror movie that undoes the promise of its pretty good premise and potentially interesting story structure with dull scares, sloppy ending and a pair of unconvincing, leaden lead performances. |
| Hollywood ReporterRichard James HavisThe direction is uninspired, acting is lifeless, and the script borders on the inept. |
