One of the more emotionally driven of the J-horror genre, One Missed Call is a well done film with some haunting images, which is a staple with these of course, and although I probably prefer The Grudge, still found this one engaging thanks to some fine performances, mainly Ko Shibasaki and Shin'ichi Tsutsumi. **3.75/5**

68/100 Take a "Ring", add a little "Grudge", throw in a few cell phones and you have one creepy-ass movie. People are getting messages on their cell phones, from their cell phones, chronicling their own death in a day or two. Despite being somewhat long winded, the characters anxiety and eerie atmosphere kept me totally engrossed. Although I found the last 5 minutes to be somewhat perplexing, the payoff is startling. Great spooks! -- DrNostromo
