CHICAGO – Hello, J-Horror. Please hang up and dial again. In fact, the message “please hang up and dial again” should have given to Eric Valette before accepting Takashi Miike’s remake “One Missed Call” as his American directorial debut.

When Beth Raymond (played by Shannyn Sossamon) finds that her friends are dying horrible deaths after receiving phone calls leading to strange voicemails with their own voices, she teams up with Jack Andrews (Ed Burns) to discover the truth.
