Chakushin Ari



The original One Missed Call; Takashi Miike's romp into commercial horror.

The story centers on Yumi, a college student whose friends begin to receive mysterious voicemails, announced by a creepy children's song. The only one who believes her friend's deaths aren't suicides (at first) is a young policeman named Yamashita, whose sister also received the Call of Death.

Two sequels and a TV drama series were made from the film.
