Review of One Missed Call 2 (2005) by Elmo B — 01 Jan 2008
Confusing mess of a film. It's as though Miike lobbed them a perfectly placed underhand toss and they knocked it into the stands behind them (excuse the baseball analogy) and then threw the bat at the pitcher and then pooped in their hand and smeared it into the umpire's face.
Ok - I don't know what I'm talking about with all of that - seriously though, this film sucked. It looked like a real film with decent production values and resonably acceptable acting... but then when the story begins to unfold, you realize they must've made it up as they went along - and they were high the whole time. The scrapped everything set up in the first film and made up new shit... what they made up though was nonsense with no cohesion. It's odd too, because the first 20 minutes of the film look really promising and even familiar... after that, they lose it.
On top of everything, this film is slow and uneven, and the death count is pretty low. I suggest avoiding this one.
The US DVD set of this contains a short film called GOMU - it's a 3 minute joke... it's filmed with a digital handheld for no money - it features the girl from the film and she's older... a guy becomes a victim of the curse in a bit of a silly way. Not worth purchasing to see it, but if you bought it already - check it out.
