One Missed Call (2008)

I Expected Nothing, I Got Less Than Nothing

This was really hard to sit through because nothing made sense. I rarely say that about movies but this one felt like it was filmed for three days. I felt like the filmmakers didn’t even try to make a good movie. The visual effects were corny, the thrills were not present, and the characters were thick. The film immediately jumped to the scares, which was not an effective move because the audiences were not yet invested in the characters. In order words, it was hard to care. I usually like Shannyn Sossamon but even she couldn’t carry this picture. I keep picking my brain to come up with one good thing about the movie but I can’t recall one. I was bored from beginning to end; half-way through, I wanted to do something else (and I did while the movie was on). I just wish that Americans would stop remaking Japanese horror movies and come up with their own. This is really an embarrassment of the horror genre. I want to forget about it, but so darn bad. Stay away from this picture as far as you possibly can. It’s a waste of time.
