Editorial Reviews

The One Missed Call curse has become an urban legend in Tokyo. Your cell phone rings with a chilling tone. Your violent demise is heard on the other end. Moments later, you die a horrible death. However, the curse has mutated to fool a wiser public and reach a broader audience. The curse indiscriminately infects anyone who answers and then works its way through every number in your phone book. Trying to solve the mystery, a couple of friends and a journalist trace the lineage of the curse to Taiwan. Once the origins are discovered, it's a race against time to put an end to the horror.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very different from the first, March 12, 2006

This review is from: One Missed Call 2 Double-Disc Special Edition (DVD)

As everyone knows, Takashi Miike directed the first movie. He's kind of controversial -but he didn't bring any of that into the movie. You need to see that movie first.
The movie brings us back with that familiar cell ring that makes you want to hide, a new option of taking someone's call for them, and news that the girl from the last movie - she's in a mental hospital. It picks up fast, with a knowledable detective and scared friends. The difference this time is no candy ball. Investigation leads them to a completely different place, with a new source seeming to have teamed up with the old one. It's not so suspenseful, not as scary as the first, but definitly worth the viewing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Way different from the first but still good, May 20, 2006

This movie is WAYYY different from the first One Missed Call. The way the movie plays out is sorta unorthodox in that its more like a bunch of short clips that connect rather than a continuous story that tries so hard to keep the same pace and feeling through out the whole film. This movie starts off with new characters, but the same story is here. (well sorta...). The story doesnt make as much sense as the first and never really connects, or at least that is what i thought until i watched the deleted scenes (the director thinks that scares are more important than plot i guess because he cut out story scenes to put in more scary scenes). The scares are real and plenty. Once you watch the deleted scenes you will understand the story a bit better and how it connects with the first. I would have given this movie a 3 stars if not for them. I movie does offer twists and turns in the plot, (about as many as the first...i wouldent say that either was more shocking). in all this movie is not as good as the first but its close to being as good. I really liked it although its not perfect at all. I really hope there will be a One Missed Call 3 and 4 and as many as possible.

One Missed Call 2 (Renpei Tsukamoto, 2005)

It seemed, for a while that every movie Takashi Miike released added more weight to the hypothesis that Miike is currently Japan's greatest living director. Now we have a new line of evidence: sequels of Miike's films, directed by people other than Miike, are simply not as good.

Horror director Tsukamoto (no idea if he's any relation to Shinya) turns in his second feature, which adopts the tactic of "take the basic premise of the original film and build on it until it's outrageous." Here, the same mode of death is offered up (people get calls on their cell phones from themselves in the future, and soon die in the prophesied way), but this time, the virus causing the rash of deaths burrows into the contact lists on everyone's cell phones, soon leading to an epidemic of deaths all across Southeast Asia. A trio of main characters-- the daughter of one of the victims, the daughter's boyfriend, and a plucky reporter (there must always be a plucky reporter) try to figure out where the calls are coming from, and why. It's a pretty hackneyed plot, but in more capable hands, it could have at least been slick. Here, it's just tedious. There are some interesting twists at the beginning, but nothing ever comes of them, and the plot descends into predictability and excuses to pull out the special effects budget. Stick with the original. **
