After her friends start mysteriously dying off, a young woman finds that her friends are being called on their cellphones broadcasting their death screams from the future and races to stop the curse that is wiping them all out.
Saw this one last night, any thoughts?

I really like this one a ton, I feel it was creepy as hell, gotta love that ring tone, brrrr. It had a couple cool kills and a terrific mystery to it. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I'm not as high up as you are, apparently, I just thought it was merely decent, maybe I'll bump it up to above-average due to a couple stand-out sequences (that death on live TV is just 1000 shades of awesome) but it just really felt it's length, dragging terribly in the middle section where they do the investigation at such a slow pace. It was enthralling, and nicely built I thought, but it was just a little long at those points for me. And that tone gets me too, I loved it.

Yes just a tad to long? Did you get the end, cause if not I could explain ot.
Oh and GL see the remake, same film pretty much but shorter, and the pace is better then the original.

And I would love an explanation of the ending.

That was the mother of the killer girl in the burned hospital, she was luring the main girl there to protect her from her eveil daughter, they had no idea and thought she was doing the kills. Moving on, the little girl had then killed the guy, and taken over the main girl. Then the guy woke up in heaven with a woman smiling at him, likely his sister.
Did you like the remake more? At least tell me that.

Why?
It shortened the original, it had some cool kills, it was more straight forward and made more sense.

At least tell me that. Wow, that's a hell of a lot better than what I came up: Yumi was actually Mimiko's sister and the whole film was Mimiko's revenge for letting Yumi take her mother away when she had her asthma attack that killed her. And yes, I liked the remake more. |

GL you are right to lol, there was just a lot to grasp in One Missed Call.
Looking forward to seeing your reviews. I had a feeling you would like the remake more, as did I. I think we both did for the same reasons.

Ok, so let me get this all out then:
Yumi and Mimiko are sisters. Mimiko was always tormenting Yumi as children, resulting in honestly-caring mother Marie always rushing her to the hospital to take care of the situation, but the results, as well as Mimiko's constant asthma attacks, forced a police investigation into the situation (lead by the same detective in the film) and while the investigation was on-going, Marie finally discovered the truth about Mimiko and took Yumi away from her, who succumbed to a fatal asthma attack in the process. Now that Mimiko has come back for revenge against Yumi in the present day, Marie also appears to her trying to get her and her friends to safety in the one place she can't be touched in order to help her finally stop her demented sibling.

Yumi and Mimiko were not sisters though, the sister was in the hospital with the bear.....

Ok, then.
So the $64,000 question:
Wasn't Yumi and Yoko sisters?

Yoko's the first kill, the one who gets thrown into the moving train.

Okay Yoko was also not the sister,
The sisters are Yumi (girl at hospital) and Mimiko(evil girl)

Oh, maybe that's whats messing me up, I still thought they were. The fact that they both have four-letter names that begin with "Y," their talk in the bathroom in the beginning and the way in which their friends talked about them at dinner certainly made it seem like they were, and I never remember three sisters at the beginning. Ok, now that makes more sense.

I always found Asian horror pretty hard to follow because I couldn't keep the characters straight  |

It is hard at first, it gets easier but all Asians do look alike.
