This is admirable, and the film is at its best when it's not trying to be the creepy, effective horror movie that it just wasn't meant to be. I liked how this film used minimal gore, and didn't try to scare us in the cheapest of ways. The film often tries hard at a good atmosphere, and it almost creates one. This strikes our 'characters' as particularly odd, and as with nearly all J-horror flicks, the story turns into a mildly entertaining, seldom engaging visual-trip that alas doesn't offer enough of a plot or enough of a visual-trip. The voice is that of their own but they are always in a dying or near-to-dying state.

It's about a mysterious phone-call that people keep getting.

This causes the admittedly ambitious premise to go to nigh complete waste, and this also causes Takashi Miike's 'One Missed Call' to come a bit short when it comes to scares, entertainment, story, characters, or anything, for the matter. Here is a film that was almost on the good side of decent, but staggered right from the start.
