Horror films
tend to have a stigma for featuring soundtracks that work
poorly as a stand alone experience, a mantra that, sadly,
fits this soundtrack to a T. Koji Endo, a veteran composer
of the horror genre, has some good scores under his belt,
but just seems to miss the mark here. The biggest sin
of the soundtrack for One Missed Call 2 is simply
the lack of any real standout themes. In fact, about the
only noteworthy tracks on this disc are all related to
"A Prayer of Love" by Aki, which, to its credit,
does work well both as a instrumental piece and as the
original song, which is fairly soothing and sampled at
the end. However, the rest of the tracks tend to just
fade into the background when one is listening. The few
that do seem to draw attention to themselves, primarily
do so for all the wrong reasons. Track 10 for example,
"July 8th, 17:37", has an exotic, middle eastern
like feeling to it (let's ignore that it's attached to
Taiwan in the movie), but just fails to sound pleasant
while it quickly fades back into the quiet and faint style
of music that fills the rest of the disc. Track 7 is another
oddity on this disc, as it builds and builds... only to
cut out at around the one minute mark. It's intentional,
but very disorienting when one listens to it while removed
from the events in the movie.
Overall, it's just a very forgettable soundtrack, with
its only truly redeeming quality being the last track
by Aki at the end, which isn't even the entire song.
