Average Rating: 
Rating: - The Scariest Thing Is The Hype
Yeah, I'm also gonna be a party pooper on this one. I'm gonna be a schmuck and tip the scales, earning 100 or so negative votes from die hard Ring fans. Maybe it's been the billions of horror films I've seen throughout the years, but I just don't see what everyone's messing their trousers over. Of course we should all know by now that when a movie is hyped so much as being "so scary"(see Blair Witch and Sixth Sense for more examples of this mass hysteria), it's usually a letdown. The cold sweat inducing, heartstopping horror must have completely slipped past me. I don't think so coz I really watched this film with a completely open mind and gave it 100% of my attention. My opinion is that it wasn't there(the scares). I can understand that this flick would scare the pants off of you if you don't watch many horror films, but to those fluent in them, we can see every "scare" coming a mile away. And the whole "psychic kid" deal is pretty old. Every horror film since The Shining seems to think a psychic kid means big scares. Psychic kids are annoying. So, shelve The Ring with the rest of the PG-13 horrors right in between your copy of The Sixth Sense and The Others.
Rating: - Creepy, but unremarkable
A Seattle reporter (Naomi Watts) tracks down the truth behind a cursed videotape that kills those who view it within seven days. The strength of this film is its creepy atmosphere, which is quite skillfully achieved. However, it just seems to drag on after a while and does nothing to improve on the Japanese original. Having seen both versions, I was struck by the way that needlessly expensive special effects, however well done, have the effect of distancing the viewer from the potential horror of the image. Although the Japanese version was clearly made on a much smaller budget, each of the creepy set pieces packs more impact than this over-produced American remake.
Rating: - Mood-y Ring
Dark, sinister, and mesmerizing, "The Ring" is the type of old fashioned supernatural thriller that doesn't go for gratuitous violence or gore, but instead opts for crawling inside your head and creeping you out. The story revolves around a newpaper reporter (Naomi Watts) investigating a mysterious videotape that supposedly causes its viewers to die within 7 days of viewing. Attention must be paid--some plot points are hard to follow--but it's well worth the effort. The images from the tape are deeply disturbing, especially when all is revealed by the equally chilling story behind it. I particularly enjoyed the ending, which will appeal to anyone who's ever been sucked in by an urban legend, or heeded the warning of a chain letter.
