![]() One Missed Call 2ĭisclaimer: I avoid plot details for the second film as do not want to spoil One Missed Call. ![]() While “One Missed Call” isn’t a perfect horror film I do find it be an extremely fun and enjoyable film, while it won’t terrify you, I do think that anyone who likes horror/Japanese horror will have a good time with this film. The film also sets up clear rules on how the demon phone calls work and to me this is important with any demon movie as if the demon doesn’t have rules then the tension is immediately killed, the film follows the rules it sets up until the ending where it bends the rules so it can have a twist ending and to me it felt cheap and I really didn’t like it. Speaking of kills, some of the kills in this film are extremely satisfying and creepy but the first kill of the film contains really dated CGI and because of that the kill feels kind of silly. Ko Shibasaki (Battle Royale) is really great as Yumi Nakamura you really feel for her and want her to live through the film which is really important as to me if you don’t like the characters you won’t care if they are brutally killed off. For one Takashi Miike’s (Audition, 13 Assassins) direction is really good, the tv show sequence is the best sequence in the film, the way the tension slowly builds to a thrilling conclusion is just expertly done. However similar to those films it is I still really enjoyed this film. “One Missed Call” is very much inspired by films like “The Ring” (“Ringu”) and also “The Grudge” but this isn’t too surprising as those types of films were a huge phenomenon at the time. Messages are from their future selves foretelling their deaths. Someone who sounds like the person who received the call. When people close to her start receiving phone calls, voice mails are left by ![]() Yumi Nakamura’s whole life is turned upside down ![]() ![]() So, my views on the film don’t correlate to my opinions of the what is offered in this collection. I was so very fortunate to have received the Blu-ray box set from Arrow video so Instead of reviewing just the films I will also be reviewing the Blu-ray package as a whole as well. For my review of “One Missed Call” I’m going to be doing something a bit different. ![]()
