Purely Joyful Movie!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

One Missed Call does not suffer from really poor acting or bad special effects. In fact, this movie has some really creepy visuals and a pretty cool premise. However, it suffers because the writing is awful. They treat the audience like a bunch of 5-year-olds and spell simple plot points out so we can understand what is going on. Then it moves along in a series of disjointed scenes while giving us no real emotional connection to the characters - so we really don't care when they're killed off.

Derivative to Say the Least. This Hodgepodge of Better Films can Only be Recommended for Horror Movie Completest.Jump Scares to the Extreme only make the Back Story, which is the Movie's Best Part, feel Cluttered and Cliché Driven. The sometimes Creepy Moments are also rendered as Throwaways because the thing just can't figure out what works and what doesn't.Child Abuse is woven into the Script and makes for some Interesting Commentary and if that Thread was Cultivated Completely and the Silly Stuff, like Exorcising a Cell Phone was Totally Discarded, it could have been a more than Standard J-Horror Remake.It is Refreshing to See Cell-Phones get Stomped, Snapped in Half, Kicked, and Thrown in the Sewer. Hoorah.There remains among the Missteps enough to make it Worth a Watch with Low Expectations and Disregarding Knee-Jerk Reactions to Foreign Remakes and a Tolerance for Bad Directorial Decisions. There is Half a Good Story Contained.

The Old Testament is a collection of thirty-nine books about the history and religion of the people of Israel. The authors of these books are unknown, and each book possesses a unique tone, style, and message. Individually, they include stories, laws, and sayings that are intended to function as models of religious and ethical conduct. Together—through hundreds of characters and detailed events—they represent a unified narrative about God and his attempt to relate to humankind by relating to a specific group of people.The Old Testament contains four main sections: the Pentateuch, the Former Prophets (or Historical Books), the Writings, and the Latter Prophets. This study guide covers books from the first three sections.The Pentateuch The Pentateuch comprises the first five books of the Old Testament. It depicts a series of beginnings—the beginning of the world, of humankind, and of God's promise to the Israelites.Genesis, the first book, opens with God's creation of the world. The perfect world falls into evil when humans disobey God, and the human population divides into separate nations and languages. After many generations, God speaks to a man named Abraham. God makes a promise, or covenant, with Abraham to make his descendants into a great nation and to give them a great land. Abraham shows strong faith in God, and God seals his promise with a number of signs and tests. This special covenant with God passes on to Abraham's son, Isaac, and to his grandson, Jacob. Together, they represent the patriarchs, or fathers, of the Israelite people. Jacob's twelve sons move to Egypt after the youngest brother, Joseph, miraculously becomes a high official in Egypt.In the Book of Exodus, the descendants of Jacob's children have become a vast people, but the Pharaoh of Egypt holds them in slavery. God chooses one man, Moses, to rescue the Israelites. God sends ten plagues to Egypt, and, with miraculous signs and wonders, Moses leads the people out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. They go to Mount Sinai, where God appears in a cloud of thunder over the mountain and affirms to the Israelites the promise he made to Abraham. God commands them to worship only himself, and he gives them various ethical and religious laws.The books of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy continue the explanation of God's religious laws and his promises to the people. The people must keep these laws to enter and enjoy the promised land, toward which they are heading. Despite God's presence, the Israelites complain and disobey incessantly, inciting God's wrath. They wander the wilderness for forty years in search of the promised land. These books continue the period of Moses's legendary leadership and miracles, until his death at the end of Deuteronomy.The Former Prophets The Former Prophets, or the Historical Books, cover the history of the Israelites from Moses's death to the fall of the nation in 587 b.c. In the books of Joshua and Judges, the Israelites successfully conquer the land promised to them by God, but they disobey God by worshipping the deities of the surrounding peoples. Neighboring nations invade and oppress the Israelites. God saves the people of Israel by designating judges, or rulers, to lead the people in warding off their enemies.The two books of Samuel (First Samuel and Second Samuel) cover the rise of the united kingdom of Israel. Israel's religious leader, Samuel, appoints a king named Saul. Saul disobeys God, however, and God chooses another man, David, to be Israel's king. King Saul attempts to kill the young David, but fails. Saul's death closes the first book. In the second book, David establishes the great kingdom of Israel. He conquers Israel's surrounding enemies and establishes Jerusalem as the religious and political center of Israel.The books of Kings (called 1 Kings and 2 Kings) trace the decline of Israel's success. God blesses David's son, Solomon, with immense wisdom. As king, Solomon expands Israel into an empire and builds a great temple in Jerusalem. Solomon disobeys God by worshipping other deities, and, at his death, the kingdom splits into a northern kingdom, Israel, and a southern kingdom, Judah. A host of evil kings leads the two kingdoms away from worshipping God. Despite the attempts of the prophets Elijah and Elisha to halt Israel's wrongdoing, the two kingdoms fall to the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires. Jerusalem is destroyed, and the people are sent into exile.The Writings The Writings are placed after the historical books in the Christian Bible. Some of these are narratives covering the time of Israel's exile in other nations and its eventual return to the homeland. The Book of Esther, for example, tells the story of an unassuming Jewish girl who becomes the queen of Persia and boldly saves the Jewish people from genocide.Many of the Writings are books of poetry and wisdom, among the most important literature in the Old Testament. The Book of Job is a lengthy dialogue investigating God's justice and the problem of human suffering. The Psalms are lyrical poems and hymns—many attributed to King David—that express humankind's longing for God. The books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes—similarly attributed to the wise King Solomon—offer sayings and instructions about the meaning of life and ethical behavior. Lastly, the Song of Solomon (also attributed to Solomon) is a romantic, lyric dialogue between a young woman and her lover. Love you. Bye. -Two White Girls and Yen

It requires a special kind of stupid to make a movie this bad. This is without a doubt the worst horror movie I've ever seen, and one of the worst movies I've ever seen. There are countless plot holes and inconsistencies, and it borrows heavily from The Ring; the protagonist has a certain amount of time to solve the mystery behind an urban legend before she is killed. The explanations for what was going on in the movie were so lame. Some stuff wasn't explained at all. There is also an extremely high amount of jump scares, all of which make you roll your eyes. One was so bad that the loud noise didn't match up with the "scary image". You'd think there'd at least be a little bit of tension to compensate for the lame jump scares, but there's a shortage on that too. You don't care about any of the characters because they're introduced, then killed of in about 5 minutes. You definitely want to miss this call.
