A prolonged, maddening, predictable -- yet curiously pleasurable -- descent into incomprehensibility.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
One Missed Call is a mess.
One Missed Call staggers under the weight of its director's taste for baroque excess.
There is something uniquely delicious in what the film says about the desperation of some cell users.
So unoriginal that the movie could almost be a parody of J-horror tropes, yet Miike, for a while at least, stages it with a dread-soaked visual flair that allows you to enjoy being manipulated.
