The original was pretty good, not one of Miike's best and the remake was uber garbage. Right up there with Dark Water as far as terrible American remakes go.

Sorry, hated it.

I am going to have to agree that this remake was pointless and just plain trash, also made the mistake of watching When A Stranger Calls remake that also ranks up there with one missed call

[fortunato]

one missed call was putrid.

that's all.

It SUCKED!!!!!




Now bugger off. :rolleyes:

I haven't seen the remake, or the original. They are both high on my Netflix queue and I plan to watch them back to back.

Probably a terrible idea that will more than likely just piss me off. (the last time I did this, it was with the original Black Christmas, and the remake. And yes, it pissed me off)

;)

This makes me think of the tagline for hatchet:

"Its not a remake, its not a sequel, its not based on a Japanese movie."

It could have added "and its not a torture porn"

It sucks that most horror these days falls into this mold, and worse, that most suck. Including "One Missed Call."

as opposed to the 80's slasher mold, the 40's universal monster mode, the 50's giant radiated animal mold, the 70's witchcraft conspiracy mold ?

well I guess those looking back will appreciate torture porn or japanese remakes the way I appreciate slashers, but for now, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say these types of movies typically suck.

well, here's the origionals and remakes the way i see them :


Ringu (havent watched it yet) VS The Ring (good movie)

Rungu 2 (havent watched it yet) VS The Ring 2 (terrible)

Ju-On (excellent) VS The Grudge (excellent)

Ju-On 2 (havent seen it yet) Grudge 2 (havent seen it yet)

Dark Water (excellent) VS Dark Water (not great)

Kairo (good) VS Pulse (havent watched it yet)

One Missed Call (not bad) VS One Missed Call (Havent seen it yet)

Shutter(not bad) VS Shutter (havent seen it yet)


so ... although i havent seen everything there is to see (and i might be missing a few of them) it seems sort of 50/50 to me.

just like every other film .. origional or remake.

I think once you have seen the ring origanals you will see how bad this really is, and as with Grudge 2, I recomend you don't bother.

i guess i had the benefit of seeing the american version with an open mind,

no matter how you slice it - i found it to be a well made film that captured my interest from beginning to end.

i'll see the origional and enjoy that as well no doubt .. but i cant find fault with the remake.

ring 2 - now that was a shambles.

I really am curious about the original; Miike is a favorite director of mine.

Sorry to say, the remake just had no appeal for me.

[novakru]

I liked the original and haven't yet seen the remake of One Missed Call, although I do plan to-the previews look pretty good.

I liked most of the Japanese originals except for the sequels.
I enjoyed the American versions of SOME of them but on their own merit, because I wasn't comparing them...that would be like having a diamond and a cubic zirconia.

Can't wait to see it.

And now I reached 500 for off topic!

[Dark_soul]

I don't watch Japanese movies very often especially when the people in the movie start flying aroundhttp://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/confused/confused0075.gif (http://www.ranksurge.com) like airplanes or something like that but I will see all the horror movies especially the original One Missed Call, i hope that the movie will be better than the USA version.

The first ring was o.k, the second was terrible, but my point is more to the fact that you will get a bigger picture over all of how the asian remake saga is an atrocity.

[Abominus]

Each country has it's own very unique history, event, heros, monsters. All of these things go into their moviemaking. It seems the American do-overs think they can just take a foreighn movie premise and remake it with American sensibilities in mind. There is always something lost in translation.

Japanese remakes aren't working, lets see if someone will redo Devil's Backbone or Don't Torture a Duckling.
