By that time, I was a seasoned pro concerning the horror drama, already having mastered classics like The Exorcist and television shows like “Paranormal State.” I may not have been able to distinguish between cheap slasher films and cinematic masterpieces but I was shocked to have realized recently how bad movies like One Missed Call and Prom Night truly are, despite their box office success.Īs of late, I’ve developed a habit in which I can’t watch a movie without looking it up on Rotten Tomatoes. It was not my nine year old naivete that convinced me this movie was actually good. It’s hard to do so when the whole plot depends on mid-2000s cell phones that ring even when off, foretelling the owner’s death. Instead, I spent the whole movie trying and failing to convince my friends it was actually scary.

I recently watched one such film with my friends, One Missed Call, promising them a scary throwback movie that would remind us of times long gone. Sleepovers in middle school were dominated by scary movies featuring pretty stars who tried to convince us they were of high school age.
