The Article has images
2008-01-11 18:14:51 by Sam in Slice of SciFi
...Call works just like its kitschy plot device. The picture has heralded the time, date and death of the PG-13 Japanese horror remakes You cannot escape fate, and poor Ed Burns seemingly cannot escape acting in bad movies. One Missed Call is quite the misstep to start 2008 on, continuing the recent horror paradigm of lame duck Japanese remakes...

ONE MISSED CALL: Should Be One Missed Movie

2008-01-08 07:56:07 by Critics Rant in Critics Rant - Movie, DVD, and TV Show Reviews
 
...CALL was supposedly adapted from the novel Chakushin ari by Japanese novelist Yasushi Akimoto. That book was then adapted into a 2004 Japanese horror film. This means that the minds between the American version of ONE MISSED CALL had not one, but two prior examples to reference when bringing their version of the ghost-in-the-cell-phone tale...

...Call , a PG-13 remake of the 2003 Takashi Miike film (and an adaptation of the novel by Yasushi Akimoto The answer: snoring Forget one missed call, this movie is one missed opportunity: a flat, formulaic cliche-fest that resurrects all the elements you've seen already in the other, seemingly-endless string of Japanese remakes ( The Ring,...

2007-12-03 16:46:00 by math in And another Thing.
...Call The original ( Chakushin Ari ) is a fairly straight-ahead entry from Takashi Miike, both in comparison to his wild directorial ways and in terms of its place within the genre. 2003 is a little late to be relevant in the category of Japanese ghost thrillers, and especially the subset of these dealing with Japan's technophobia. Anyone...

...calling you and all. I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure nobody was like, "OMG! The phone is ringing 2) "We talked about our feelings and discussed our favorite boy bands." I do hold back on information, it's usually pretty big and hurts them a lot more. Especially when the information involves one of the hot brothers going to hell for eternity...

Review: One Missed Call

2008-01-06 00:00:00 by Jeffrey M. Anderson in Cinematical
...Call . Most horror remakes come complete with an undisguised sense of callousness, and almost flat-out disdain, for their intended customers. But One Missed Call has a kind of effective low-key tone. Perhaps it was confusion or sheer laziness, but it worked for me far better than some other junky remakes I've seen Sure, the story is...
