From now on, I only go to parties where no one gets cremated.

Considering their 24-year-old daughter drowned in the backyard pond. They're great.

I knew Shelley. We interned at Saint Luke's together. I mean, she was not crazy.

I know but the way she was talking at the end was pretty...

Yeah, that doesn't mean she killed herself.

One Missed Call

I don&apos;t care what they all say, it&apos;s got a creepy vibe to it.

It&apos;s not very good, but it isn&apos;t nearly as bad as some reviewers here are making out. Personally i found it far more entertaining than drek like Stay Alive and Cry-Wolf, whilst tagging it the worst film of the year when the likes of Untraceable are on the market, beggars belief. Remaking Japanese horror is getting stale, if it was ever really fresh that is, so with that in mind i feel the hatred and backlash for this latest American remake has a touch of &quot;stop remaking already&quot;. One Missed Call {Japanese original Chakushin Ari} is creepy enough, from little eerie dolls and grotesque figures to a seriously unnerving ring tone, it works as the most basic of chillers when watched alone in the dark. You will find that Final Destination and The Ring will come springing to mind as you watch this one unfold, so no great prizes for originality for sure. The acting of course is sub-standard, even Ray Wise seems to be the bread part of a camp and ham sandwich, the directing is sloppy and the ending frustrates as much as it intrigues, but the picture is creepy, and for that alone it&apos;s far more entertaining than the ream of gorno slashers that dumb the screens every other week. 5/10
