Review of One Missed Call (2008) by Deb S — 19 Jun 2009
The plot unwinding was pointless and this movie was so dumb that I didn't even care what the ending was. I just wanted it to end because supposedly we should be afraid of two inanimate objects, an inhaler and a cell phone.
No, the cell phones don't kill the people instead a vengeful ghost within the cell phone does. Over the years, the cell phone has become the one indispensable electronic gadget that everybody owns, so it is inevitable that horror movie makers would exploit this vulnerability with a haunted cell phone movie. Just awesome!! Don't expect to scream, because you won't. Don't expect to jump, because you won't!!!
On a positive note Edward Burns was not bad playing a detective who is trying to save a girl and her friends from the things that are killing them. I liked Shannyn Sossamon from her lead role in A Knight's Tale, alongside Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany and she did pretty okay here playing the girl that is trying to protect her friends.
