What will it sound like when you die? In <em>One Missed Call</em>," a chain of people receive terrifying cell phone messages of their own final fatal moments. Though the messages can be deleted, their number is up. Beth Raymond is traumatized when she witnesses the gruesome deaths of two friends just days apart. Even more disturbing, she knows that both of them had received chilling cell phone messages--actual recordings of their own horrifying last moments. Impossibly, the calls were received days before they died, but each death occurred precisely when and how the messages foretold. The police think Beth is delusional--except for Detective Jack Andrews whose own sister was killed in a freak accident that bears a strange similarity to the deaths of Beth's friends. Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to unravel the mystery behind the ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the truth, Beth's cell phone begins to ring with an eerie tune and her phone reads "One Missed Call..."(Warner Bros.)

Hilariously bad. The moments which were meant to be tense were laughed at by the audience. There are several things which let this movie down. Primarily, that it wasn't cut off at the storyboard stage. Some barely-believable acting earns this 1 point, but a shockingly poor story, and a production team as mind-numbingly stupid as the film's characters mean that the quite poor acting is the only thing that earns any kind of recognition from me. It's not just a not criticy movie. It's a bad one.

Ok, stupid people gotta get this straight. The Original Japanese one came out before Final Destination. SO Final Destination copied this! They pretty much butchered the Japanese one, but i gotta give it credit for entertaining me.. and the 2 main Actors being good, Unlike most PG-13 Horror movies when they suck.

America just need to stop remaking Asian horror movies. They'll always be full of cancer and fail.

This movie could have been more than i expected...the only thing in this movie that was keeping me entertained was my friends making fun of it...honestly it kind of reminded me of rip off's of other movies, just flat out a waste, i can't believe everyone was telling me this movie was amazing.

This is like someone remaking Scary Movie and attempting to take it seriously as a horror film.
