Horror Icon Wow, a really good sequel. I accidentally watched this before the first movie and really enjoyed it (thought it was the first movie until I read the credits and saw it was a sequel). I love J-Horror as it often revolves around urban legends, which this series does really well. The special effects are excellent and the movie is engaging from start to end (even liked the opening and ending credits). For some reason, this movie kinda reminds me of 'Saw' and 'Ghost Train' (as well as 'The Ring' of course). Though this series is said to be done in the style of 'Ringu' and 'The Grudge', I feel that it beats its predecessors. Highly recommend this.

zombiefan89 One Missed Call 2 is more of a tragic drama that a horror movie. The ghost isn't sympathetic and all, just another Sadako/Samara rip off(Long black hair that covers her face, dressed in white, etc.) It fell into the same trap most horror movie sequels fall in, trying to rehash the original. What you get is a well-meaning, confusing mess. I gave it two extra points for the characters. The star-crossed lovers were very moving to watch. It's a clichéd horror movie romance, but it still worked here. It was a decent movie, but I'm getting rather bored with all the Sadako knock-offs. She had me going in One Missed Call, but as of know, I've seen enough Japanese horror movies to notice the pattern.

Tokyo-1997 I watched this film 3 years ago after renting the DVD in a shopping mall near my house. This is an excellent film that builds up tension and fear towards the end of the film. The last twenty minutes of the film were very terrifying. I had nightmares after watching this movie. The actors and actresses play their roles very well. I highly recommend this movie for any horror fans. This movie may not be as good as the first one but is still really chilling. The director manages to create an extremely creepy and dark atmosphere for this film. And do watch out there is a frightening twist at the end of this film. Spoilers below: People have been found with coal dust on their body instead of a candy in their mouth. Could there be another new curse? Our heroes goes to Taiwan to find out. There is a huge frightening twist at the end of this movie that isn't common in other movies. This movie is very slow pacing at the beginning. It takes a while to really grab you. But I can assure you, by the end of the film you will be really satisfied. Score:10/10

ebossert Japanese horror, like any other cinema industry, has it's duds. Ju-on the Curse 2 (TV), Dead Waves, Gozu, Shikoku, and the entire Tomie series qualify as disappointments, just to name a few. As a fan of East Asian horror, I demand good entertainment by the industry, and have no problem lambasting a crappy movie when I see one. Fortunately, One Missed Call 2 is not an utter disappointment, as some on IMDb have claimed. Unlike my other comments, this review will be short and sweet.The storyline is more complex and intricate than the original. Multiple supernatural elements and threats are introduced and the structure of the plot is more like a mystery, which keeps the viewer off balance and engaged at the same time. I actually needed a pad and pen to jot down notes because there was a lot of relationships and events to keep track of. If anything else, One Missed Call 2 is not easily predictable, and that is a good thing. Also, the technical quality is solid. Good cinematography, acting, and lighting.One negative is that the movie drags a bit in the middle and is not quite as scary as the original. The filmmakers should have added one or two entertaining kills during the middle half hour. That would have made this one as good as the original. In it's current state, however, it is less entertaining to a degree – but still entertaining nonetheless.I can't see how people can complain about One Missed Call 2 when they are constantly peppered by the sheer idiocy and low quality tripe dished out by Hollywood. Sure, this film is not as good as Kairo or as original as Tetsuo, but it's MUCH better than Hostel, Silent Hill, The Hills Have Eyes, or The Devil's Rejects, just to name a few.So if you liked the first one, give this one a try. Remember, even the most formulaic horror films from Japan are still better than your average American slasher.
