One Missed Call is the story of a college student Yumi Nakamura whose friend Yoko receives a phone call with a ring tone she has never heard before. The message is dated three days in the future with her own voice saying "It's started raining." This is followed by a spine-chilling scream and after some days the events heard in the message actually happen and Yoko dies a gruesome death. Several other victims receive similar messages on their cell phones dated a day or two in the future and die violent deaths. The story is about Yumi tracking down the source of these calls with the help of a man whose sister was the first victim to die. Their pursuit leads them to a girl who has died of asthma and her abusive mother. In One Missed Call one finds all the clichés of J-Horror films such as shock, horror and torture, but the director here uses them effectively and scares the audience with some imaginative twists. The scenes may be familiar with fingers coming out of cupboards, crawling shadows, girls with bulging eyes trembling in corners and scary sound effects. Scenes such as a resurrect corpse chasing Ko Shiasaki in the abandoned hospital manage to shock the audience. The victims are tortured by the horror of the messages that they receive on their cell phones. The killings shown are gruesome and graphic in detail. Takashi Miike excels in scaring the audience. The best sequence of the movie is the reality television show where a terrified girl who has received the fatal message is forced by some TV producers.
