I am always hopeful that an American remake of a good Japanese horror will be good. It might not be perfect but at least close to the original and with One Missed Call, they came so close to getting it right but someone dropped the ball. The underlying message of the original movie is absent and instead replaced with jump scares, spooky faces and some very odd choices to the pacing. This is still a decent horror, the premise is good but once I watched the original after the remake, I had to rethink what I knew to be a decent horror and compare the two. See what comparison I could draw from the story and choices made and see which was better!

One Missed Call is a 2008 supernatural horror film directed by Eric Valette and written by Andrew Klavan. An international co-production between the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and Germany, it is a remake of the 2003 Japanese film of the same name directed by Takashi Miike, which itself was based on the Yasushi Akimoto novel Chakushin Ari. The film stars Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, Ana Claudia Talancón, Ray Wise and Azura Skye.
The film was released in North America on January 4, 2008. Despite being a moderate box office success, the film was panned by film critics, with many regarding it as the worst J-horror remake to be released. It became the worst-reviewed film of 2008, receiving a 0% rating approval on Rotten Tomatoes and winning a Moldy Tomato Award on the same site.
Sound designers used the voice of Skid Row front man Sebastian Bach in the hospital basement scene. The exact clip comes from Bach's scream at the beginning of "Midnight Tornado", a song from the band's 1989 debut album, Skid Row.
