One Missed Call (2004)

Takashi Miike directs this Japanese tech-horror in which people mysteriously start receiving voicemail messages from their future selves, foretelling their deaths.

Runtime: 1 hour 52 minutes
Director: Takashi Miike
Writers: Yasushi Akimoto (novel), Minako Daira (screenplay)

I was working in a movie theater when this came out and I believe at the time I didn't know Takashi Miike yet. Unfortunately it wasn't at our theater very long, and I missed the opportunity to see it on the big screen.
