(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 0% Rotten Page   1   "Why, after realizing how deadly these calls can be, does every victim still insist on listening to them? Perhaps only the screenwriters know for sure."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1/5 "there isn't much One Missed Call can do to satisfy horror fans."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French D- "Call is the first major motion picture release of 2008, in charge of setting the tone for the lengthy year to come. My friends, the future does not look promising. In fact, it feels like a swift kick to the groin."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf D "If the first wide release movie of 2008 is an indicator of the kind of year a writers' strike Hollywood has in store, we may all be watching DVDs."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "What is Ed Burns up to?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs .5/4 "This is nothing less than bottom-of-the-barrel junk."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "Puerile and low-rent, piggybacking on the fad of updating foreign horror films by dumbing them down for us American simpletons."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C "More useless than bad, the type of thing that will divert your attention for an hour and a half but nothing more."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D+ "For a film like One Missed Call to be frightening or good would have required far more art and intelligence than this shoddy little production could possibly muster."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov F "Borrows so heavily from the corpus of J-horror flicks, and especially Hideo Nakata's, that it should really be titled The Ring Tone."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "The worst part about this movie is that, even though it's impossible to piece everything together logically, it's easy to see where it's going because there's nothing new here. There's a sameness to all these Japanese-turned-American retreads."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/10 "...not the worst horror movie I've ever seen, but it is among the more tedious."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 1.5/5 "It's as if Vanilla Ice wrote the script, sampling elements from The Ring and The Grudge with a dash of Pulse sprinkled in."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 1/4 "Plays out just as silly as its premise sounds."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik D "While it may be clichéd to proclaim the original foreign film to be superior, the fact remains that the Japanese pic contains more scares and intended laughs than this slapdash American remake."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 1/4 "The temptation exists to call the movie one missed opportunity, but honestly, I don't think anyone involved in this mess ever seriously tried to make something good."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan .5/4 "Takeshi Miike's original 2003 One Missed Call was second-rate techno-phobic J-horror tripe, meaning that Eric Valette's even lousier American remake is something like the next generation of suck."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Estreando como diretor em Hollywood, o francês Eric Valette já se mistura à multidão de cineastas sem personalidade nos primeiros minutos do longa."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca .5/5 "And doesn't all of this have a familiar Ringu to it?"   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 1/5 "A film so utterly misbegotten that it almost makes Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem look competent by comparison."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski D+ "A market-spawned Happy Meal trinket lacking both skill and wisdom"   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick 1.5/5 "Isn't even worthy of a Blockbuster free rental coupon. I don't care how cute Shannyn Sossamon is."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg 3/10 "Shannyn Sossamon and Edward Burns give performances that qualify as languorous even on the heavily left-shifted bell curve with which we grade horror film acting."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton D+ Read review   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 0% Rotten Page   1
