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. Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) witnesses
the death of two of her best friends just days apart. Both received terrifying messages on
their cell phones that sounded like moments recorded at
their deaths. Although it sounds like a crazy story,
the only person who believes Beth is Detective Jack Andrews (Edward Burns), who helps her figure out who's been leaving
the demonic voice mails.
In
the tradition of
THE RING,
THE GRUDGE, DARK WATER, and PULSE, ONE MISSED CALL is yet ano
ther moody Japanese ghost story to be adapted for American screens. Originally made by cult director Takashi Miike in 2003 from Yasushi Akimoto’s novel CHAKUSHIN ARI, this American version retains
the elements that are sure to please J-Horror fans--jerky apparitions, ghostly children, desperate messages from beyond
the grave, possessed electronic devices, and strong female characters. While this remake, which is
the debut English-language film from French director Eric Valette, dispenses with some of
the freakiness of Miike’s version,
the creepiness remains. Shannon Sossamon is Beth, a developmental psychology student who has plenty of cause for concern after her friend Leann (Azura Skye) receives a
panicked cell phone message from herself days in
the future.
