One Missed Call (2003)
People mysteriously start receiving voicemail messages from their future selves, in the form of the sound of them reacting to their own violent deaths, along with the exact date and time of their future death. In order to save themselves, the characters must find a way out of death.

Miike's return to the horror genre is a slicker and less original affair than Audition, but also sharply dissects the J-horror phenomenon even as it scares the hell out of you.

Miike reins in his anything goes impulses...but still smuggles in his sense of humor and flair for the grotesque, often at the same time.

There is very little in One Missed Call that we have not seen before. And yet it works.

At the movie's core is a mystery that simply isn't even remotely interesting...

It'd feel a whole lot creepier if it weren't exactly like that haunted videotape flick.

There is something uniquely delicious in what the film says about the desperation of some cell users.

More annoying than answering a wrong number phone call.

A prolonged, maddening, predictable -- yet curiously pleasurable -- descent into incomprehensibility.

So unoriginal that the movie could almost be a parody of J-horror tropes, yet Miike, for a while at least, stages it with a dread-soaked visual flair that allows you to enjoy being manipulated.
April 19, 2005
No more than Miike's shot at generating a polished, rote, expertly composed J-horror flick.
April 21, 2005
One Missed Call staggers under the weight of its director's taste for baroque excess.

One Missed Call is a mess.
