One Missed Call

Oh yeah this one's gonna be so good.
A Series of young teenage friends begin dying in freakish style accidents (Some final destination style)  But the catch is they keep recieving messages on their cell phones from the future.  They listen to their voices on the message and it's them right before they die. 
The main character, a jessica alba lookalike, begins to investigate what the hell is going on and throw in a local investigator to help her out cause he's the only one that believes her.  Stop me if you've heard this plot before...
Also right before the next victim dies they start seeing random peoples faces like porcelain masks (ala dead silence style).  They could have actually made this scary if instead of porcelain faces they went with the melting off your face with blackness in the eye sockets (Emily Rose) style.
Not one that made me jump and didn't seem scary at all.  Definatley directed at the 10-17 age range as it's PG-13. 
To sum it up and to score it I give One Missed call the following...
2 points for a sweet Leland Palmer (Ray Wise) appearance.
1 point for actually doing an exorcism on a cell phone.  And when you read the previous sentence I don't mean over the phone, I mean they have a phone sitting on the table and they are screaming for the demon spirits to exit it.  So ridiculous it gets a point.
3/10
