One Missed Call


Cast: Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, Ana Claudia Talancon, Ray Wise.
Director: Eric Valette.

If you like the film The Grudge and The Ring this will be a must watch. One Missed Call is a film that has borrowed its concept from two other films and has merged them together. The result, a film with a few scares scattered here and there, apart from this the film kind of drags. The execution of the scares and editing of the film was done with aplomb.

As far as the performance of the cast is considered, there is not much to say. This is because the entire film being a thriller has the people play the scared role over and over again. This makes the entire acting pretty much mundane. So don’t expect much from the cast.

While the story line, well as I said grudge and ring mixed... a fire in a hospital people are killed... vengeful dead baby sister... killing spree... warning to victim in advance... death. Yes, folks this is the basic idea of the entire film, seems kind of funny that a whole film would be made on this topic while so many already exist.

On the whole the film was not that bad and will definitely have a few scares for the audience.
