Movie Story


What will it sound like when you die? In "One Missed Call," 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 (Shannyn Sossamon) 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 (Edward Burns) 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 the readout says One Missed Call...

MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..another mediocre remake of a Japanese horror film in which flashes of computer-generated ghosts are meant to compensate for lousy acting and a banal storyline..”
by John Monaghan [Detroit Free Press]
“..The script is terrible and the characters within it barely more than cardboard cutouts waiting to be killed..”
by Josh Tyler [CinemaBlend]
“..a bloodless, brainless thriller that's a sad excuse for even more creepy-faced ghosts to toy with still more blank-faced actors..”
by Alex Markerson [E! Online]
