One Missed call swede review
Yesterday
I wen to an advanced screening of the swede, it was a night were amateur film
makers came together to show what they were made of and in this case I was
quite impressed; for such low budget film “the one missed call swede” came
across very well I was a fun, enjoyable parody of a famous Japanese horror
film. The acting all though sometimes a little off and the editing a little bad
at some points it would be easy to discard this film as another cop off parody
a failed attempt at something good and entertaining. What I loved was the films
heart it made not be the best but their passion from interviews and the film
itself sold it to me completely. The swede comes out next week at all theatres I
recommend you go and see ASAP before tickets run out! Rotten tomatoes gave it
89% tonight I’m giving it a Dave rating of **** (4 stars). Thanks for reading
and keep subscribing to Dave weekly for more film, swede and TV news, update
and reviews.

‘ one missed call swede’!
What was it like playing the character of
Beth Raymond?
Tarjae: It was fun. I really
enjoyed it. I loved working with the other characters we had a blast on the
set.
What was it
like working on a small budget?
Olli: it made the experience
more exciting! We used our imagination more. It was hard to play some of the
scenes as we didn’t always have all the correct props but we made it work.
Working with a
tight budget, did this effect your costuming?
Faiza: Yes, we couldn’t
remake the movie to its full potential; as we couldn’t buy anything we had to
design out our costumes.
If you could
remake any other film of your choice what would it be?
Aneeka: I would love to
remake big mama’s house it would be such a laugh, yes most definitely.
What was it
like working with Olli?
Tarjae: it was so much fun, every
morning he would steal my New York bagels from the cupboard and then act so
oblivious when I asked about them. He was a blast it would be fun working with
him again.
