YesAsia Editorial Description

Takashi Miike is a busy man, but his hard schedule doesn't seem to be affecting the quality of his films. One Missed Call, released in theaters in early 2004, is the story of college student Yumi Nakamura, played by Shibasaki Kou (Battle Royale). Bored at a singles party, Yumi waits for her friend Yoko, who arrives to the party late after finishing work. While Yoko is changing clothes in the ladies room, she receives a phone call with a spooky ring tone she has never heard before. To make things creepier, the call appears to be from her own phone. Yoko listens to the message, which is dated three days in the future, and hears her own voice say, "It's started raining." The short message is followed by a bloodcurdling scream. Several days later, the events heard in the message actually occur, and Yoko meets a gruesome death.

However, Yoko isn't the last person to hear this strange ring tone. Others begin getting similar calls and meeting similar fates, and Yumi finds herself in a race against time to solve the mystery before her own number comes up...

Product Information

* Director : 미이케 다카시

어느 날 나에게서
“1개의 새로운 메세지가 도착했습니다.”
여대생인 유미(中村由美, 시바사키 코우 分)는 어느 날 친구가 주선한 미팅에 나갔다가 서로 휴대폰 번호를 교환한다. 미팅이 끝나고 친구인 요코와 파트너에 대한 이야기를 하던 중 한번도 들어보지 못했던 벨소리가 울린다. 발신번호는 요코 자신의 번호, 더군다나 발신자는 3일 후의 요코 자신! 누가 장난치는 건가? 내 번호로 어떻게 전화가 왔지? 대수롭지 않게 여기던 요코는 메세지가 온 그 시각 전화 속에서와 똑같은 말을 남긴 채 전차에 치어 죽고 만다.

휴대폰 전원을 꺼도, 해지신청을 해도!
"예고된 그대로, 죽음은 피할 수 없다."
죽음은 희생자의 휴대폰에 저장된 사람에게로 바이러스처럼 퍼져간다. 미팅에 나갔던 사람들에게 한 통씩 죽음 직전의 자신으로부터 메세지가 도착한다. 같은 미팅 자리에 있었던 켄지도 자신에게서 온 메세지에서와 똑같은 말을 남기고 죽음에 이르렀고, 유미의 가장 친한 친구인 나쯔미는 휴대폰의 해지신청을 했음에도 메세지가 수신된다. 죽음의 전화에 대한 공포가 확산되자 한 방송국에서는 나쯔미에게 메세지가 도착한 시각에 생방송에 출연할 것을 제안하는데….

Professional Review of "One Missed Call (Korean version)"

January 23, 2007

This professional review refers to One Missed Call (DTS) (Hong Kong Version)

I can imagine director Miike lecturing a group of open-mouthed students: "Just because a film has a supernatural evil killing people in grisly (and gristly) ways, doesn't mean it can't be fun." And this is, both grisly (and gristly) and fun.

The central theme of this film is the cell phone warnings of impending death, which comprise a message, from the doomed to themselves, containing their last words. Now I don't know about you, but if I received a message from a future me which said "Oh no, it's raining" then screamed in a blood-curdling fashion, I'd remember never to comment on the weather. Lips clamped shut under all drippy provocation would be me, but not so Miike's first victim. Perhaps she was too busy thinking about new ring tones or something, but she utters the fateful line and is duly despatched.

Subsequent victims also forget this crucial principle of phone etiquette, to their short-lived regret. This provided an air in the cinema almost of pantomime: instead of shouting "Look behind you!" the audience groaned in unison each time someone unwittingly announces their own imminent death. There was a general ripple of relieved laughter at other times, too: the equivalent of the pantomime hero unwittingly elbowing the stalking monster off the stage.

There's a nice stab at reality television, which is about as subtle as a train smash. I'm not a devotee of this bargain-basement genre, and I confess to more than one snigger as Miike took aim and blasted away with both barrels. The notion of a TV producer promoting a special as "The co-ed marked for death. Will she survive? Find out at..." is both incredible and far too believable. It's a sad sad world.

So, who should see this? Well, anyone who likes suspense and isn't put off by a bit of gore and dismemberment. And anyone who answers their phone in the middle of a lecture or a film, because I'm always hopeful of social change.

I haven't seen the first one yet. But I purchased the second one and it's really good. I saw the preview of the first one on the second dvd and it looks good. I'm going to buy the first some other time soon.
