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

Ron Stringer, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

One Missed Call is a mess.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Rotten

One Missed Call staggers under the weight of its director's taste for baroque excess.

Dana Stevens, New York Times
Rotten

There is something uniquely delicious in what the film says about the desperation of some cell users.

Jan Stuart, Newsday
Rotten

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.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
