Reviews for One Missed Call
Miike's return to the horror genre is a slicker and less original affair than Audition, but also sharply dissects the J-horror phenomenon even as it scares the hell out of you.
03/18/08
There is very little in One Missed Call that we have not seen before. And yet it works.
09/13/05
For much of the going, Miike juggles the Asian psychothriller portfolio (elevators, clock hands, vengeful ghosts, buried family traumas) with gleeful skill.
04/14/05
A great new Asian horror movie and the ultimate proof that Miike can do anything.
04/09/05
The film is slow and somber during the windup but pretty scary in the follow-through.
04/27/05
Even with nothing at stake emotionally, though, he conjures some real scares.
05/06/05
Miike reins in his anything goes impulses...but still smuggles in his sense of humor and flair for the grotesque, often at the same time.

O roteiro pode não ser dos mais originais (e a conclusão deixa alguns buracos na trama), mas Miike cria um clima absolutamente assustador – algo raro no terror moderno.
04/08/05
A prolonged, maddening, predictable -- yet curiously pleasurable -- descent into incomprehensibility.
05/05/05
Miike, whose work usually veers into more surreal, experimental terrain, uses creepy-crawly juxtaposition, grisly violence, and dark humor to create a nightmare scenario for the text-message generation.
04/12/05
We slog through several seemingly endless scenes of teenage girls checking their voicemail while we peer at them from around corners. Yes, it is as boring as it sounds.
04/12/05
One Missed Call staggers under the weight of its director's taste for baroque excess.
04/21/05
More annoying than answering a wrong number phone call.
09/16/09
Relies on scare tactics not very well done.
04/11/05
One missed opportunity to bring something new to a tired genre.
04/21/05
There is something uniquely delicious in what the film says about the desperation of some cell users.
04/21/05
Top CriticA second-rate J-horror entry that bores rather than scares.
04/21/05
No more than Miike's shot at generating a polished, rote, expertly composed J-horror flick.
