Horror People mysteriously start receiving voicemail messages from their future selves, in the form of the sound of them reacting to their own violent deaths, along with the exact date and time of their future death, listed on the message log. The plot thickens as the surviving characters persue the answers to this mystery which could save their lives.

	Media	Author	Review
		Dana Stevens The New York Times	"[Miike] has a wildly prolific visual imagination, but his energy seems ill-suited to the demands of what is essentially a genre film"
		Nick Schager Slant	"A mainstream J-horror flick that dutifully regurgitates the apparitions, aesthetic, and themes of its genre predecessors (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] is 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."
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It appears that Miike is either running dry, making a bid for mainstream acceptance, or duping his audience (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
		David Nusair Reel Film	"It's clear immediately that the complete and utter lack of interesting characters proves to be 'One Missed Call's death knell (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"
