Review of One Missed Call (2008) by Esteban G — 28 Dec 2011

This movie just tries to hard at immitating the Ring but does not even come close to the chills that movie gave. This time instead of a video, it is a cell phone call you receive which comes from a dead person with your voice on it and date and time of death.

In order to try to survive the call Beth (Shannyn Sossamon) who has already witnessed how three of her friends have died after receiving the phone call has to team up with the only police officer who beleives her story (Edward Burns, as to why he got involved with this film I still cant understand as he is a good actor).

He believes her because her sister has recently died in a similar way but it seems no other cop is willing to help which is only natural in these movies. Together they will have to find a connection with these mysterious deaths and dont be suprised with the ending which also es very similar to the Ring.

I didnt like this film which delivered very few scares if any. The visions which were supposed to be scary just seemed like normal people wearing bad halloween costumes. The only thing I will remember from this movie is the ringtone which I would like to have on my cell.

I recomend you to skip this movie as it seems we have already seen these movies a million times before.
