What you get in Chakushin ari is, besides the beautiful surroundings and awesome camera work, tension, thrills and a plot which does quite good for being in this genre. Chakushin ari is another ghost tale but it gets a bit special when Miike-san is in charge of things. I've just started to dig deeper into the works of Takashi Miike and I have no problems admitting that his movies are awesome. Why can't Hollywood keep their dirty fingers away when they fail in their own miserable creativity. Ray Wise ( Reaper, Twin Peaks ) has a bit of fun as a cynical TV producer comedian Margaret Cho has such a brief, throwaway part as a skeptical cop that one wonders if the rest of her role is on the cutting room floor and Meagan Good ( Brick, Stomp the Yard ) gets prominent billing but is hardly in the movie at all.First, I strongly disagree with some other posters at the board who weren't bothered by Chakushin ari facing a Hollywood remake. But for fans of this particular subgenre, One Missed Call may evoke the warm, enjoyable familiarity that devotees of 1970s horror feel towards the repetitive output of Hammer Films. which stopped being scary about four or five movies ago. Little is fresh here- One Missed Call apes every other Japanese horror remake, using corpse makeup, blurry images at the corner of the screen or just out of sight, lots of ambient rattles and gasps, spooky-looking children, and the slow, trembling turn towards a ringing phone.

Good-looking young people are receiving voice-mails that prefigure their gruesome deaths Beth (Shannyn Sossamon, 40 Days and 40 Nights ) and Jack (Ed Burns) race against time to find the source of this cell-phone curse, leading them to a dark and treacherous burnt-out hospital. Yet more modern technology falls prey to the influence of eeeeevil spirits in One Missed Call, a horror flick following firmly in the footsteps of The Ring, Pulse, and other remakes of Japanese creepfests. Because Beth has just discovered an ominous message. Does the viral spree of calls have a single source? Is there something that links the victims? Psych student Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon, Rules Of Attraction ) and detective Jack Andrews (Ed Burns, She's The One ) scramble for answers. Each call has the chilling voice of the students moments before their death. College students discover eerie voicemail messages on their mobile phones. One Missed Call is a remake of a classic Japanese horror Chakushin Ari.
