Note: written for my film review website, ShaunMunro.co.uk, thanks! ~~~ I commend One Missed Call for managing to survive an entire six minutes in my retina before I began to lose interest. Given the negative publicity, I expected worse (albeit not much worse), yet that is not to give much credit this film - it is, without ...  Read the complete review

For those who've seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, if you remember the scene where they are all laughing and belittling the movie that Sarah Marshall was in where mobile phones kill people, well this is that movie!

Ah the pain of having to endure yet another Japanese horror movie, remade by Americans for a global audience.

Now we have One Missed Call, a movie that not only bears a canny resemblance to The Ring, but also more ...  Read the complete review

I hadn't seen a horror at the cinema since 2006, when the Omen was remade. That, too, was a ...  Read the complete review
