Though the messages can be deleted, their number is up. Beth Raymond is traumatized when she witnesses the gruesome deaths of two friends just days apart. Even more disturbing, she knows that both of them had received chilling cell phone messages--actual recordings of their own horrifying last moments. Impossibly, the calls were received days before they died, but each death occurred precisely when and how the messages foretold. The police think Beth is delusional--except for Detective Jack Andrews whose own sister was killed in a freak accident that bears a strange similarity to the deaths of Beth's friends. Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to unravel the mystery behind the ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the truth, Beth's cell phone begins to ring with an eerie tune and her phone reads "One Missed Call..."(Warner Bros.)… Expand

Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The 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. Read full review

Scott Tobias

On 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." Read full review

Dennis Harvey

This decent if derivative scare machine should benefit from a lack of genre competition. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

If your cell phone vibrates while you’re watching One Missed Call, go ahead and answer, because even a wrong number will be more exciting than what’s happening onscreen. Read full review

Richard James Havis

The direction is uninspired, acting is lifeless, and the script borders on the inept. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

This garbled American remake of Takashi Miike's already staticky 2004 exercise in J-horror is a wrong number. Read full review

Pete Vonder Haar

The original movie One Missed Call is based on was pretty tame, at least by Miike standards. And since it appears studios have no intention of halting this flood of abysmal rehashes, allow me to suggest that they at least have the stones not to pussyfoot around and give us a remake worthy of Hollywood, of America, and of an audience that lacks the willpower to stop buying tickets to half-assed crap.

It's A Horror Movie, It's Not Suposed To Be Perfect! A Great Story Line, Acting Was Fine... Nothing Wrong With This Movie, ALOT Better Than Most Horror Movies!

More like One Missed opportunity. While the original may not be a perfect horror film, but it's way way better than this movie when it comes to exaction and a pay off.

I found myself laughing more times than I was feeling scared. Actually I don't think I was ever scared during the movie. Just a really crappy film.

Hilariously bad. The moments which were meant to be tense were laughed at by the audience. There are several things which let this movie down. Primarily, that it wasn't cut off at the storyboard stage. Some barely-believable acting earns this 1 point, but a shockingly poor story, and a Hilariously bad.

Some barely-believable acting earns this 1 point, but a shockingly poor story, and a production team as mind-numbingly stupid as the film's characters mean that the quite poor acting is the only thing that earns any kind of recognition from me. It's not just a not criticy movie. It's a bad one.… Expand
