One Missed Call (2003)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Soon after Nokia and the use of cellphones exploded, ghosts probably realized cellular was a more efficient way to spread their mayhem rather than wait around in dark nooks and creepy corners.

And that’s what One Missed Call is mostly about. The victim receives a voice/video message from themselves a couple of days before they die in strange ways.

This is your standard J-horror flick. Takashi Miike’s trademark craziness isn’t really on show, though you can see his odd touch here and there, particularly in the death scenes.

A sucky supernatural/horror film with a lousy plot. Director Takashi Miike must be a really smart cookie to realize that no matter how bad the plot is it would sell. Even though it was universally panned by critics “One Missed Call” spawned 2 sequels, an American remake and a TV series. I like some of Takashi Miike other work like “Audition” (1999) but “One Missed Call” is a big miss for me. 2 stars.

this has always been a favourite of mine in the J-HORROR genre, its just so creepy. people have called it a bootleg version of Ring, but i think it is much better than that movie.
