Them good ole’ boys over at Bloody-Disgusting
managed to snag the first still (seen above) from the Japanese remake flick ONE MISSED CALL.
ONE MISSED CALL, which was originally brought to the screen by horror legend
Takashi Miike is “about
a chain of people who receive terrifying
cell phone messages of their own final fatal moments. Though the messages can be
deleted, their number is up. Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) is traumatized when
she witnesses the gruesome deaths of two friends just days apart. Even more
disturbing, she knows that both of them had received chilling cell phone
messages—actual recordings of their own horrifying last moments. Impossibly, the
calls were received days before they died, but each death occurred precisely
when and how the messages foretold. The police think Beth is delusional—except
for Detective Jack Andrews (Edward Burns) whose own sister was killed in a freak
accident that bears a strange similarity to the deaths of Beth’s friends.
Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to unravel the mystery behind the
ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the truth, Beth’s cell phone
begins to ring with an eerie tune, and the readout says One Missed Call…”
Even though the film is a remake I am still pretty interested in
seeing it. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of what
it would be like to know exactly when and how I die. Or maybe it’s
because of my unhealthy love for Shannyn Sossamon (seen below). Whatever the
case may be, the film, which is being
distributed by Warner Brothers, is set to hit theatres this summer.
