Warning: Spoilers
One Missed Call is not a good or even a bad movie, but this film is lack of explanation. There is so many scenes in this film that has no connection, like the scene when Yumi is in a dark room, hiding and there are this bottled fetus given by some white hands. The scene does not actually totally "ruin" the film, it's just simply non sense. But the story is as usual good, as seen on previews Takashi Miike works like the brilliant Ichi the Killer. The story is like taken on "Phone" and "Ring" and some scenes are like "Ju-On", that makes the movie too unoriginal. But it is a fun movie. The dark camera work makes the movie more scarier. The only thing that makes this movie an average is some scenes are very non sense. Like the scene I've mentioned earlier, it is NOT a very big deal in the movie, that scene is a totally non-sense and has NO connection on the film.

One missed call fails only on originality, but it is a very good psychological shocker freshly made by Splatter Horror king, Takashi Miike.

...and the ring tone is SO very creepy...
