The story follows a group of friends who begin to receive mysterious phone calls determining the process and timing of their imminent deaths. Although the plot of One Missed Call initially appears to be compelling, the lack of depth and character development brings it down. All in all, a movie whose strength lies in its rush of jump-scares instead of any real horror element: minimal tension and suspense.
