Horror Icon Wow, a really good sequel. I accidentally watched this before the first movie and really enjoyed it (thought it was the first movie until I read the credits and saw it was a sequel). I love J-Horror as it often revolves around urban legends, which this series does really well. The special effects are excellent and the movie is engaging from start to end (even liked the opening and ending credits). For some reason, this movie kinda reminds me of 'Saw' and 'Ghost Train' (as well as 'The Ring' of course). Though this series is said to be done in the style of 'Ringu' and 'The Grudge', I feel that it beats its predecessors. Highly recommend this.

Tokyo-1997 I watched this film 3 years ago after renting the DVD in a shopping mall near my house. This is an excellent film that builds up tension and fear towards the end of the film. The last twenty minutes of the film were very terrifying. I had nightmares after watching this movie. The actors and actresses play their roles very well. I highly recommend this movie for any horror fans. This movie may not be as good as the first one but is still really chilling. The director manages to create an extremely creepy and dark atmosphere for this film. And do watch out there is a frightening twist at the end of this film. Spoilers below: People have been found with coal dust on their body instead of a candy in their mouth. Could there be another new curse? Our heroes goes to Taiwan to find out. There is a huge frightening twist at the end of this movie that isn't common in other movies. This movie is very slow pacing at the beginning. It takes a while to really grab you. But I can assure you, by the end of the film you will be really satisfied. Score:10/10

FieCrier I didn't care for the first one; it was competently made, but too derivative for my liking, along with multiple endings, the final one of which didn't seem to make sense. There was a funny line in this movie as some characters recalled the events of the first one and asked "how did that end?"In the first, there was a chain of deaths linked by cell phone calls apparently originating with a death in a home involving Munchausen Syndrome-by-Proxy. The deaths typically involved some sort of poltergeist activity preparing a location for a death by falling, and then a person being dragged or thrown from a height. Some of the deaths involved twisting of the body in bone-cracking ways. One clue found on the bodies is a red candy, and each call is announced by an annoying ringtone taken from a children's television show (one that exists in the world of the movie).In this one (I might have called it Two Missed Calls rather than One Missed Call 2), the manner of deaths, and clues and possible cause are mixed up somewhat. The two female leads are quite attractive. Again, I guess it could be said that it is competently made, but I didn't find it very interesting and again the ending involves some sort of twists that aren't particularly appreciated. Those who liked the first one a lot might enjoy this one too. The first one is being remade and I would guess that a sequel will be made to that one as well though it will probably not be a remake of this one (think the American Ring 2 or The Grudge 2).There's a short film "gomu" on the second disc which takes place in the One Missed Call world, though when in relation to the two films, I'm not sure. It is poorly shot on video and isn't really worth the minute or two that it lasts.

Rocco3000 The strangest thing about this movie is that even though all of the characters are speaking Japanese, the whole affair feels like an American remake of a Japanese horror film.The first One Missed Call was quite the rip-off of the current flavor of the month, when it comes to Japanese-style horror films. Fortunately, it had the talented Takahashi Miike at the helm, therefore even though it didn't really offer the viewer anything new, it still had that Miike flare to it that made all the difference.One Missed Call 2, is brought to us without Miike and it is apparent to us from start to finish. And we end up with a bland rehashing of old themes, average acting, and nothing special in the dialogue department. Admittedly it is still scary at times, still no where as near as its predecessors of the genre. And the ghost story behind it all is not as compelling either.One Missed Call 2 is not a waste of money, however, and can still entertain you if you are a big fan of the Japanese horror genre, or even of horror films in general.
