One Missed Call (blu-ray)
From cult Japanese director Takashi Miike comes this typically stylish idiosyncratic horror-thriller. Yumi's friend has a missed call on her cell-phone, but the message is her own terrified voice from three days in the future. 72 hours later she is dead and Yumi finds this has happened to others too. As Yumi struggles to solve the mystery before someone else dies, she finds it has more to do with her than she imagined.
