Sequel to the original film by acclaimed director Takashi Miike (Ichi The Killer)!
The One Missed Call curse has become an urban legend in Tokyo. Your cell phone rings with a chilling tone. Your violent demise is heard on the other end. Moments later, you die a horrible death. However, the curse has mutated to fool a wiser public and reach a broader audience. The curse indiscriminately infects anyone who answers and then works its way through every number in your phone book. To try to solve the mystery, a couple of friends and a journalist trace the lineage of the curse to Taiwan. Once the origins are discovered, it's a race against time to put an end to the horror.

A little disappointing

One Missed Call was a great movie so I had high hopes for the sequel, I was disappointed in a few places but still I got some of the things I expected.
One Missed Call 2 is primarily a love story and at times can come off as a little bit mushy and cheesy. In a scene near the end of the movie the horror is high and you know you're going to be scared but the love dialogue takes you away from the horror and the scares, instead of grabbing the bedcovers in fear I almost reached for a bucket.
One Missed Call 2 isn't a bad movie, it has a decent enough story with some good scares, I really feel some of the moments and dialogue were just a little too lovey dovey for this movie and ended up causing the scares to be less effective. Compared its predecessor One Missed Call 2 just fails to reach the same level but its still better than some of the J-Horror movies out there.
Better than the first!

What makes this film stand out from a lot of horror films is that within the storyline there is a very strong love story and characters that you care about. It is slightly confusing and you do need to concentrate. It does help to have seen the first one though not essential.
