5.0 out of 5 stars to change to subtitled version, December 6, 2005

(For Chicoer2003 . . .) My copy seems to automatically revert to the dubbed English version, too. To change, select movie set-up on the main menu- Japanese language- English subtitles to get the director's intended version. I am a fan of Kou Shibasaki and dubbing her voice as well as all the other actors seems corny and detracts from the horror element. I personally prefer subtitles and interestingly find I must raise the volume when watching foreign films.

I found "One Missed Call" quite enjoyable and scary though it could be slow at times. The ending had a nice twist that kept you thinking (I won't disclose here). It says a lot about a movie if, after watching, you are still interested in the 2nd disc with extras, and I was. Enjoy!

I recently purchased a bunch of J-Horror movies, since that seems to be the only horror flicks worth watching these days. This film was one I came across and decided to just give it a shot without realling looking into it like the others I had purchased like "The Whispering Corridors" triolgy, The Eye 1&2, and a few others. This was one of the first movies I watched out of the bunch. Well, I guess you could say I regret watching this one first. All the rest of the movies just have kind of gone downhill. I'm not trying to knock down the other classics like the ones I mentioned above, because they are still great movies worth watching, but none had the impact or suspense that this movie did. If you want a movie that has suspense written all over it, with a few jumps here and there, this is the one to get. It was the first movie since the Exorcist that had me creeped out.

The only negative thing I can say about this movie, is how it ends. Not only was I confused, but rather let down. The end reminded me of a rehash of another popular J-Horror flick... (I wont mention the name to ruin the movie)

Overall, I'd give it 4.5 stars... only due to the ending. But from what I had read after I've seen the movie, is this was a movie actually made poking fun at the Ring/Ju-On series, or so I've read. If thats true, and they are making a sequel, and they actually try, I'll definately put that one in my collection as well...

4.0 out of 5 stars Are You Really Okay?, January 29, 2007

This review is from: One Missed Call (DVD)

Maybe I have been watching too many horror movies lately, but I hardly need to close my eyes or flinch anymore. Not so with this incredibly frightening and creepy movie. This movie is effectively scarey with minimal gore or "jump" scenes. Nice twist on the angry ghost theme as well.
Good acting. I especially liked the spunky Yumi. The sound is a bit disjointed at times, but overall this is a worthwhile watch.
