One Missed Call 2 (着信アリ2 Chakushin Ari 2) is the sequel to the popular J-Horror film One Missed Call.

[edit] Plot synopsis

Set a year after the original, One Missed Call 2 introduces us to Kyoko and her friend Madoka. Both women are teaching assistants at a kindergarten in the middle of Tokyo and when the pair aren't working, they seem to spend a lot of time in a Chinese restaurant where Kyoko’s boyfriend, Naoto, works. It is here that Kyoko first encounters the cursed ringtone.

Takako and detective Motomiya investigate the original cellphone murders, searching for Mimiko's grandparents. Takako visits Taiwan and finds Mimiko's grandfather dead, cellphone in hand. She discovers from her ex-husband, Yuting, that similar mysterious deaths are occurring there, and that both he and she are slated to die within an hour of one another. Kyoko and Naoto follow her, and the trio visit a ghost town where nearly all of the inhabitants have been slain by the curse of a girl named "Li Li," who was frequently bullied and abused, and eventually buried alive in a local mine.

The three investigate the town and are assaulted by numerous apparitions resembling both Li Li and the corpses of their slain friends. Kyoko is trapped by the vengeful spirit of Li Li, but Naoto is able to bring her to safety. They are pursued by the ghost, and Naoto sacrifices himself by answering Kyoko's ringing cell-phone.

Some time later, Kyoko recovers in a hospital bed. Takako checks her messages and discovers she has one missed call. The call reveals that Detective Motomiya has died in a car crash but not before telling paramedics, "It's Mimiko. Mimiko is here." Some officers from the Taipei Police show up in Kyoko's room and reveal that two bodies were found in the abandoned mine. Confused, Takako goes to Yuting's apartment and discovers his corpse, as well as a video camera which seems to show herself stabbing him, similar to the way she herself was stabbed in the mine by Mimiko. She opens her cellphone, and notices she has a missed call from herself, stamped with the current time, and spits a red candy ball from her mouth.
