Movie Review: A Disturbing Tale of Ghostly Revenge
Summary: 4 Stars
In the vein of "The Grudge" and "The Ring," "One Missed Call" is based on another Japanese horror film of ghostly revenge. A group of college friends are mysteriously dying one by one. Prior to their death, each one receives a "1 Missed Call" message on their cell phone from the last person to die. Upon listening to this message, they hear their own voice screaming, pleading and begging for help. Who or what is responsible for these deadly premonitions?
Cute-as-a-puppy Edward Burns is famous for his roles in such romantic comedies as "The Holiday" and "Life or Something like It." It was a treat to see him portray gutsy Detective Jack Andrews whose sister may have been the first victim of the cell phone curse. During his investigation, he teams up with psychology student Beth Raymond (played by gorgeous Angelina Jolie look alike Shannyn Sossamon). The two share great chemistry. (A love scene between them would've been nice.) Jack and Beth frantically race against time in an effort to prevent more gruesome deaths, including their own. As in "Final Destination," death becomes a physical manifestation that appears unstoppable.
Now that cell phones outnumber landline phones, a horror film such as "One Missed Call" seemed inevitable. Though it is not a totally original idea, this film is very creepy and disturbing and boasts some unnerving special effects. It is good for watching late at night with all the lights turned off. If you enjoyed such modern horror classics as "Final Destination," "The Ring" and "The Grudge," you will not want to miss "One Missed Call." No matter how you feel about this film, you will never look at your cell phone the same way again.
Movie Review: Pretty creepy for a PG-13 movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know what everybody's problem is. I guess these reviewers need a lot of sadistic gore (via Saw)to deem a horror movie watchable. OK, when I finally got to rent the movie (it seemed to always be out), I was disappointed to discover it was PG-13. So, after disappointing unrated junk like Dead Silence, I went in with very low expectations, and was delightfully surprised. This movie was creepy and tense and had many disturbing images and didn't have to resort to cheap (or expensive) gore effects to tell the story. And that haunting ringtone is still with me! A psych student and a cop race against time to find the source of a cell phone caller who calls intended victims from a dead person's cell with their own voices at their last moments of life...a day or two before it happens. (Yes, it seems that Japanese horror formulas follow the whole I saw/heard this and now have 24 hours to live). I will not spoil the movie with details, but it is very creepy and some of the images are sure nightmare-inducing. If you are bothered by gore but like a scary movie, I recommend this one. The acting is good, and it's always nice to see Twin peaks' Ray Wise acting again. My only complaint is that the victims aren't DRIVERS on their cell phones. At least they would deserve the abuse!Movie Review: Pretty generic but still creepy
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok so the movie had plot holes and a pretty funny scene where the poor cat can't even avoid the evil but other than that it did creep the ______
out of me. I put my phone to silent after watching this!
