Plot Summary: What will it sound like when you die? In "One Missed Call,"
a chain of people receive terrifying cell phone messages of their own final
fatal moments. Though the messages can be deleted, their number is up. Beth
Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) is traumatized when she witnesses the gruesome deaths
of two friends just days apart. Even more disturbing, she knows that both of
them had received chilling cell phone messages—actual recordings of their own
horrifying last moments. Impossibly, the calls were received days before they
died, but each death occurred precisely when and how the messages foretold. The
police think Beth is delusional—except for Detective Jack Andrews (Edward Burns)
whose own sister was killed in a freak accident that bears a strange similarity
to the deaths of Beth's friends. Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to
unravel the mystery behind the ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the
truth, Beth's cell phone begins to ring with an eerie tune, and the readout says
One Missed Call...
EN 5 Second Review:
The only movie in wide release this week and it is
definitely not worth going out for. If you are going to do a crappy
horror movie, you at least had better be able to show us some boobage,
and as you can see from the
Photofile
above, this movie fails even in the most basic of horror
movie rules. Instead we recommend renting one of this weeks excellent
DVD Releases. You can even watch the parody
belowand do better than this.
