★ 4/10
Really liked the first two movies of this trilogy, but this third entry, while had some interesting ideas and even some social commentary with characters fighting one another to stay alive, the creepy factor was non-existent, acting was rather bland and had some lame moments, most notably attempting to defeat ghost girl via mass e-mails. Shame it ended this way. 2.0/5

32/100 The final film in the trilogy of people getting phone calls depicting their future demise ...and we can all be thankful. Turning the whole idea into a gimmick while abandoning the anxiety of the original film the whole thing ended up silly and outlandish. It was, at least, somewhat entertaining until the last half hour when they decided to extend the length for every scene by pandering to our emotions when the conclusion was obvious. This only served to annoy, irritate and frustrate me beyond reason. Even the kills were dull or completely off screen. Blah! -- DrNostromo.com
