ONE MISSED CALL is the Worst Movie Ever?
Many terrible movies come out each year, but few reach the ultimate shit pinnacle of a 0% rating on RottenTomatoes.com. It’s the film review world’s equivalent to every student in your school refusing to sign your (Horror) Yearbook- there is simply nothing positive to say about you, and no one cares if you ever change or have a gr8 summer.

One Missed Call
What will it sound like when you die?
Cell phone calls from recently deceased friends are the harbingers of doom in One Missed Call. As the soon-to-be victims listen to the message they hear their last moments and discover the time and date of their death. Until Beth they mostly just wait for it to happen, but she, along with a cop who’s sister died because of a call, set out to discover what evil is stalking the wireless network and hopefully stop it before they both become victims.
What seems like a run-of-the-mill unhappy ghost story turns out to be a little more in One Missed Call, but only a little. The truth is most of it’s pretty tired and unimpressive, but still entertaining.
It’s an easy first impulse to call all these techno-paranormal flicks rip-offs of The Ring, but that’s simplifying the matter.
Masters of Horror: Fair Haired Child
A young girl has been abducted and locked in a cellar with a strange young boy. As time passes, the girl soon learns that they are not alone in the cellar as something else is about to enter their lives. Are they both about to be victims or is there something even more sinister about to occur? Is it good or evil? You be the judge of the deal made with the fair haired child.
Masters of Horror: The Fair Haired Child is a bizarre little tale that takes a dark look at love and loss through the eyes of the occult, sad part is there a little cataract forming on the eye that really blurs the vision on this one.
Maybe it’s me, but I don’t really consider the man who helmed Feardot.com and wrote Universal Soldier: The Return to be a true master of horror, so how William Malone got sandwiched in with John Landis, John Carpenter and Dario Argento is a little beyond me.
