One big miss of a horror movie.

To redial applicable catchphrases, this garbled American remake of Takashi Miike's already staticky 2004 exercise in J-horror is a wrong number.

The direction is uninspired, acting is lifeless, and the script borders on the inept. A PG-13 rating means that it's short on shocks, too.

If you missed the first One Missed Call, made in Japan in 2004, you now can miss the American remake.

The best part of the movie is the fact that, at a running time of an hour and a half, it's mercifully short.

Given 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.

The unintentional camp makes for some eye-rolling interest early on, and French director Eric Valette does manage a few hair-raising moments, but by then, the movie has missed by a mile.

Are we really supposed to believe that, if you die angry while holding a cell phone, you can make the 'Can you hear me now?' guy throw himself in front of a bus?

For a would-be frightfest built around a supernatural premise, One Missed Call is so glum and businesslike that it's not nearly as much pulpy fun as it should be.

The call gets through, but the signal is so weak and garbled in the cross-Pacific transit that the message is lost, leaving audience on hold, waiting for scares that never come.

Oooooh, a cell phone that kills! Really? Wow! Some people might find that creepy, but it's just silly isn't it?

The first major release of the year is a complete dud. Shocker!

It's somehow fitting for a film this hodgepodge to arrive in stores on a bare bones disc.

One might best describe this would-be thriller as tired, and not even the high-definition processing does much to spice it up. (Blu-ray Edition)

Its attack of the murderous Razr's: the remake, in what is easily one of the worst horror movies of 2008, one of the worst movies of 2008, and one of the worst remakes of all time....

...not the worst horror movie I've ever seen, but it is among the more tedious.

One of the worst and most unnecessary remakes ever made.

Before seeing this, I had heard many, many bad things about this film. Every review was negative. So, initially I passed up on it. But then, I just decided to watch, and to my surprise, it wasn't too bad. I thought the film was borderline decent considering all the flack the film received. I thought the film was eerie
