Review of One Missed Call (2008) by Sarah P — 13 Sep 2009
Remember in Forgetting Sarah Marshall when Russell Brand and Jason Segal make fun of the title character for the movie she did where people get killed by their cellphone, and tell her how much it sucked because it was so ridiculous? Well, they made a movie about that.
One Missed Call opens with a scene where this black chick gets a phone call, and then is pulled into her backyard pond by an UNDERWATER QUOI POND MAN. Pretty funny in itself, but then he pulls the cat in too, which was hilarious.
The cat didn't even have a fucking cellphone, you know? So then I was waiting for the UNDERWATER QUOI POND MAN to strike again, but instead victims start seeing "scary" ghost people with special effects faces until an INVISIBLE FORCE kills them, and then a red hard candy falls out of their mouth.
Maybe if they had spit the candy out they would've lived. Oh, and millipedes. You know when you start hallucinating millipedes you're about to die. The rest of the movie is about Sashana Soshashoman and a cop played by Ed Burns, trying to get to the bottom of things (in a long, boring drawn out way), which leads to some abusive mother and a demon child.
The best part is the short appearance by Jason Beghe, who is AN HERO for quitting scientology and speaking out against them. He has this hilarious scene where he tries to perform an exorcism on a cellphone.
Awful movie.
