One Missed Call - Blu-ray Forum

I saw this got a really bad review. I was wondering what those of you who saw it thought about it. Worth a purchase or rental?

I typically find something to like about any movie in this genre.

This was a rare exception. It was a step below awful.

Edward Burns disappoints me so much these days. His career started so well, The Brothers MucMullen and then he was in Saving Private Ryan. Since then not so much that is worth watching really, only Confidence is worth it in my opinion. This will be ONE MISSED MOVIE by me, sorry I could not resist the Pun.

this movie looks worse than House of Wax

yeah I saw it in theaters. its an awful film. honestly it just plain sucked. I still bought the blu though, guess thats just the collector in me, i'll probably never watch it.

I saw the Japanese version of this movie and it was decent. So, it amazes me that when they Americanized it, it was complete crap. Apparently, the same was true for The Eye and Shutter.

For that matter, aside from The Ring, I can't recall the last Asian horror movie remade for American audiences, that was actually any good. I may rent this just to see how bad it actually is, but at least I won't be expecting much.

Blockbuster just sent a copy, maybe I'll just send it right back?

the grudge?

Some people love The Grudge and some people hate it. The Japanese original, Ju-On is vastly superior to it. Admittedly, I own the Director's cut of The Grudge, but have only watched it once. IMHO, it's not that good.
