One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks.

To redial applicable catchphrases, this garbled American remake of Takashi Miike's already staticky 2004 exercise in J-horror is a wrong number. Jan 9, 2008 | Rating: D | Full Review…

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. Jan 8, 2008

The best part of the movie is the fact that, at a running time of an hour and a half, it's mercifully short. Jan 7, 2008 | Rating: .5/4 | Full Review…

It's not even remotely scary, which leaves the horror fans out. But it's also way too boring to even poke fun at. Aug 28, 2015 | Full Review…

One Missed Call remakes Takashi Miike's 2003 film as undistinguished college-age horror, except it tries to exploit some people's fear of answering the phone into a feature-length premise. Aug 19, 2015 | Full Review…

No wonder the marketers at Warner Bros. did not preview this embarrassing clunker for critics. Anyone searching for an effective supernatural-horror fix in theatres right now should visit The Orphanage instead. Jul 6, 2010 | Rating: .5/5 | Full Review…

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. Apr 23, 2009 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

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? Dec 24, 2008 | Rating: 1.0/4.0 | Full Review…

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. Jul 23, 2008
