A second-rate J-horror entry that bores rather than scares.

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.

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.

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.

There is very little in One Missed Call that we have not seen before. And yet it works.
09/13/05
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.

A great new Asian horror movie and the ultimate proof that Miike can do anything.
04/09/05
One missed opportunity to bring something new to a tired genre.
04/21/05
It'd feel a whole lot creepier if it weren't exactly like that haunted videotape flick.
03/29/06
A prolonged, maddening, predictable -- yet curiously pleasurable -- descent into incomprehensibility.

One Missed Call is a mess.
04/22/05
One Missed Call staggers under the weight of its director's taste for baroque excess.
04/21/05
There is something uniquely delicious in what the film says about the desperation of some cell users.
04/21/05
Top CriticEven with nothing at stake emotionally, though, he conjures some real scares.
05/06/05
Routine horror with a confusingly drawn-out finale.
