When A Stranger Calls, One Missed Call.....
 

First of all i don't understand why so many "call" movies but still i liked these two on a amateur level. Which is best?

Because telephones can be very scary things.

Which versions are you talking about? The original 1979 version of When a Stranger Calls with Carol Kane is great, but only because of Kane's performance... the story was lifted from the finale of Black Christmas (1974, not 2006)

Do you mean the American remake of One Missed Call or Takashi Mike's better, but still weak film?

Honestly, it would never occur to me to even watch the remakes of either as they are uninspired, studio-style, PG-13 bullshit that caters to people who have no understanding of the source material.

If your looking for a comparison between the originals, I gotta go with When a Stranger Calls by a mile just because Carol Kane's eyes are amazing and I could stare into them all day - and when she plays frightened, it makes me scared for her.

The earliest "telephone horror" film I can think of is "Sorry, Wrong Number" with Barbara Stanwyck, though there are probably others.

When I was young there was I Saw What You Did, starring Joan Crawford, and remade (terribly) in 1988.

I saw what you did and I know who you are

loved that one... but it's no Strait-Jacket:D

No, it's not, but it scared me back then!

I LOVE "When A Stranger Calls" the 2006 version. Never saw the original but I bet its just as good especially since it has Carol Kane in it.

2 = so many ?

liked on an amateur level ?...what does that even mean ?

I guess he didn't get paid to like it?

Probably should see the original. Kind of makes you realise how shit the remake is.

I found One Missed Call extremely stupid (Original and remake)
When A Stranger Calls (OG) was good though.

First Rod's post pointing out how vague this topic is was hillarious, then there it just got more confuseing, I think if you ........ ......., yeah, that's what I think

hahahha maybe :p

I LOVE the original When A Stranger Calls, if only for the final scene where Kane begins to flip out in the restaurant. Just incredible acting. It really gets your heart racing, and you can feel the fear!

I prefer the modern (2006) When a Stranger Calls
Camilla Belle had a promising future
Then she did 10,000BC

No, you have that COMPLETELY wrong.

Camilla showed absolutely NO talent in When A Stranger Calls, worst performance of the year. THEN she did The Quiet.

One Missed Call was a disappointment. I had not seen the original.

I liked the earlier version of When A Stranger Calls.

Takashi Miike has done far better films than One Missed Call (or "You've got a call" as known in some other countries) but I would pick it over the remake any day.

The remake of When a Stranger Calls sucked. Rent the original from 78'. While the middle of the movie drags on, the beginning and the end of the movie is really scary. The remake didnt live up to the original, I thought.

I thought the guy that played Duncan did the best job in the movie. I thought he was a real crazy person... "Nobody touches me, nobody sees me..." Can you say, weirdoooooooooooo
