One Missed Call
Director: Eric Valette
Actors: Edward Burns, Shannyn Sossamon, Ana Claudia Talancón
PlotWhen people begin receiving voicemails from their future selves - messages which include the date, time, and some details of their deaths - panic spreads quickly. These eerie messages come from their own phone numbers and with a chilling precision, forecasting their deaths down to minutes and seconds. Among those caught in this terrifying scenario is Beth Raymond, traumatized after witnessing the gruesome deaths of two friends just days after they received such calls. With the police dismissing her fears as baseless, Beth is left isolated with her dread, the eerie ringtone from a death foretelling voicemail haunting her.
Determined to unravel the mystery, Beth teams up with Detective Jack Andrews, whose own sister met a similar fate. Together, they delve deep into the phenomenon, tracing the calls back to a dark origin. Their investigation leads them to unsettling discoveries, connecting the calls to a vengeful spirit with a twisted mission. As they close in on the truth, the questions of why this spirit is making these calls and how to stop it become increasingly urgent. With time ticking, they must find a way to end the curse before the death predictions claim Beth as their next victim.
