Audience Reviews for One Missed Call

Oct 25, 2012

I'll give it a 20% because there's one truly horrifying image in the film, but other than that, it's quite pathetic.

a killer phone call film, had to happen one day i guess. this is quite bad and full of cliches that don't work. Ed burns is going through the motions here and offers a typically bland performance. the ending is just a waste of time, how a film can be this bad is beyond me

As far as American J-horror remakes go, this might be the worst (and I've seen The Uninvited).

One of the Worst horror films ever. I have never seen a plot that is as stupid as this. It had horrible acting. The actors were hand picked by retards. It was also a rip off of The Final Destination. It was retarded as shit and I will never watch again.
