Critic Reviews

Marc Mohan

Even with nothing at stake emotionally, though, he conjures some real scares, and the finale is as much a head-scratcher as a heart-stopper -- in a good way. Read full review

Jeremy Knox

One Missed Call plays like a good cover song. It's not just a repetition of the previous tune. Read full review

Derek Elley

Combines scares and chuckles with good production values. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The film is slow and somber during the windup but pretty scary in the follow-through. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

One Missed Call is so unoriginal that the movie could almost be a parody of J-horror tropes, yet Miike, for a while at least, stages it with a dread-soaked visual flair that allows you to enjoy being manipulated. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

Where "Ringu" derived its power from the simplicity of its premise and the purity of its execution, One Missed Call staggers under the weight of its director's taste for baroque excess. Read full review

Marc Savlov

All we're left with is a second-rate J-Horror entry that bores rather scares. Read full review

Well, I dunno. Haven't watched much horror movies so I can't say anything about it's originality, but for me the idea of phone calls coming from the future seemed interesting.

Haven't watched much horror movies so I can't say anything about it's originality, but for me the idea of phone calls coming from the future seemed interesting. Still I couldn't follow the plot (Perhaps I spent too much time eyes closed, 'cos this film is pretty scary in some parts of it..), and didn't figure out the ending and who the hell it was that sent those freaky phone calls. Overall I give it a 7, because the beginning was quit interesting, but then the old hospital cliché and the zombie thing ruined it all.… Expand

While it's not the best Japanese horror movie out there, it's still a fairly entertaining one. The acting was good enough, the story was quite interesting and there were some genuinely unnerving moments. If you're a fan of asian horror movies you will probably enjoy this one.

This film offers little scares but has a good storyline. It works better as a thriller movie than a horror movie. The ending of the movie is not so good. Overall, the film is average.
