young and attractive japanese people be get on the wrong side of some curse again and this time it involve mobile phone . various people die until the disgruntled spirit behind it all be unearthed and so essentially if you have see more than 2 recent japanese horror film you can plot this film in the dark with your hand tie . the main attraction here be the fact that takashi miike be behind the camera . so far i have be more impressed with his low key work like city of lose soul and however a one miss call plod along i be yearn for his more renowned envelope push of dead or alive or the overly pseudo cronenberg style of audition . despite a lot of his film be essentially empty and at least they do have merit such a these and or at least something to keep your attention like tadanobu asano prance about in shiny suit impersonate johnny depp . there none of that in one miss call while there just very little of credit represent the acting be bland and average and there be very little ( nothing and in all honesty ) in the way of scare or suspense and and in place it just downright bore . however and there be moment where miike glacier like sense of humour seeps through the bland commercialism while most notably with the instance of the tv show intent on film the demise of one of the cursed subject and and the tv programmer more concerned about his rating than the girls life . but aside from this there be nothing to suggest it be miike behind the camera while most notably his usual visual flair have vanish without a trace ( and that include his famous gore ) and although it more likely he just do not have any enthusiasm for the project and and i can understand why . one miss call isn not offensively bad . it just frustratingly average . miike obviously love direct . with his huge yearly output it obvious he isn not go to be 100 % concern about all his project . but even with this in mind and one miss call felt like he be just pay the bill .
