One Missed Call - the 2008 American remake of the horror Japanese film Chakushin Ari (2003), several people begin receiving weird voice-mails from the future variant of them selves — messages with the date, time plus some details of their imminent death. The film is directed by Eric Valette and written by Andrew Klavan. Starring Shannyn Sossamon as Beth, Edward Burns as Detective Jack Andrews and Ray Wise.
Beth Raymond witnesses two of her best friends’ death just days apart. And, coincidentally, both people received terrifying messages also on their cell phones, sounding like moments recorded at that exact moment of the death. Although it seems like a crazy story, the person who believes her is Detective Jack Andrews, who helps her in figuring out who’s hiding behind those demonic voice mails.
Sossamon is a pleasing heroine, plus the always brilliant Wise - making the most of his tiny role. Almost old-fashioned, the movie is a good candidate for the family viewing–and spooky enough, giving you all the horror bumps you need.
