Summary: Once again, the critics get it wrong
Review: The critics are plain out of touch with the rest of us if they don't think this is one of the freshest and genuinely scary films of recent times.Rather than the rather mundane and repetitve slash and thrash horror movies of late, this film actually takes the time to build a up a disturbing atmosphere, which means that the suspense is not limited to jumpy scenes or scary settings. There are NO plot holes in this film. It ties together very nicely, and will suit those who like a little but of thought to their movies, as well as those who just plain like to be scared. Ignore the "critics" and read the reaction of the populace instead. We don't need to be told what is and isn't scary.

Summary: Everything you want from a horror movie
Review: The Ring is the perfect horror movie: deeply unsettling, with lots of shocks, wonderfully and at times beautifully shot, effectively staged, and with a plot to kill for. While a cynical mind can pick holes (how easy it is for them to track things down bit by bit for example) all you need to do to enjoy is sit back and get ready for a traditional, perfect horror film. Enjoy.

Summary: 5 Star Movie, 1 Star DVD
Review: Just like "Mulholland Dr.", "The Ring" was released by Universal Studios. What I don't get is the supplements that are not included into the DVD release!! Is their a upcoming 2 disc version? Because I hear Chris Cooper was suppose to be in the movie but all his scenes were deleted. The DVD itself is a joke (but better than Mulholland Dr.) DVD features: -"Don't Watch This" - basically a short 15 minute or so recap of the movie, which then teases us that they left the "video" video store that wants us to watch it. -"Look Here" is 3 trailers. The first one is the upcoming preview release for "Ringu" the Japanese Version that inspired the American remake. The second is "Catch Me If You Can", while the third one is "8 Mile." -A hidden easter egg, which is the "video" itself. To obtain this, from the start of the main disc, simply press up on your remote, and then enter. And that's it. Check out Mulholland Dr.'s Korean Version DVD which HAS supplements in them!!!! Again the DVD is a joke, and we should check out Other Regions releases to see if the other studios (if it's not Univsersal) to see if they included special features that I really wanted included (especially the theaterical trailers with the "bleeping sound" of Naomi Watts screaming at the end.)

Summary: TERRIFYING
Review: This movie is by far the most chilling and terrifying movie ever made! Although PG-13, it's psychologically horrifying, with minimal gore or swearing. It is absolutely a must-see for horror fans, but defintely not for the weak of heart. This movie is so scary because it lacks disgusting slashing and gore. It's disturning images and messages provide for the real scare. A fantastic job by director Gore Verbinski, but beware- this movie has been known to make people cry in terror.

Summary: Horror Flick Addict
Review: They said this movie was compaired to the Exorcist, its somewhat like it. "Ana" the girl that scares the heck out of everyone that watches her tape, is just as much or uglier than "Megan" from the Exorcist. The plot is a little difficult at first, but you catch on pretty quick. It gives quick glimpses of the messed-up victims and the monster, but it is VERY freaky and mind disturbing, never the less.

Summary: Plays well on psychological, as well as fear factors
Review: As far as horror movies go, The Ring is on the top of my list for frightening me. It's not very often that a grown man sits up late at night wondering if something is going to happen to him by an unknown attacker, let alone one that is supernatural. As has been previously stated, it is impossible to go into any detail about the plot without giving away any of the film's best points.
I will have to deviate from the previous reviews, however. The Ring does use "slasher" style gore to scare you, but I have never seen it used in a better way, ever. Verbinski did an incredible job with his filming style, a way that really allows the dark, disturbing imagery of the movie to get under your skin and stay there. It's almost like the movie is, as the film itself quotes, "someone's nightmare caught on tape". In addition, the way that this movie sets you up, and then hits you with terror is done extremely well. The film hits you from all angles with scenes and plot twists that you will never see coming and will make you jump in your seat from time to time. It's almost surreal how much the movie can affect you. But only if you let it. The Ring has one fatal flaw in it, in that it will only appeal to you if you allow it to. Those who have seen Blair Witch will understand what I mean. As a side note, I firmly believe that people go to movies to be entertained and to be drawn into the film itself. A movie that does this can and will succeed. On the other hand, if you go into a film trying to pick it apart and doubt everything that is thrown at you, you will leave with nothing. The acting is done very well, with Naomi Watts in particular. She is very believable as not only a determined reporter, but a caring mother and jaded lover. Brian Cox's portrayal as a tortured father on the edge of sanity adds another shade to an already dark experience. Finally, David Dorfman does an outstanding job as the aloof, almost psychic son of Naomi Watts' character. All in all, this movie does justice to the price tag you will pay for it. For the full effect, turn off all the lights in your home, pull all the shades shut, and lock your doors. The Ring is a ride you won't soon forget.

Summary: THE SCARIEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN
Review: When I saw the creepy trailer for this movie, I figured I'd like it cause it looked in one word....disturbing. But I would have never thought that a horror movie in today's class of horror would genuinely be chilling. I must say from the opening scene on, I was definitely pleasantly surprised. If you have never seen this movie, I seriousally suggest you buy the dvd. All I can say is that this movie is without a doubt the scariest movie I've ever seen. With a great twist of an ending, I left the theatre very surprised at what I had just sene. And I mean that in a good way definitely. However, if you're not expecting much out of the movie like I was, once again I hope you buy the dvd and change your mind.

Summary: I Just HAD To Write. . .
Review: I couldn't let you read all these raving reviews and think this is a really good scarey movie, because it's not. It's okay. The opening scene is done well, but, as the Editor's Review will explain, when the movie explains it all, you are like, huh? Anyways, some of the deleted scenes should definately been put into the movie (you'll understand when you watch the deleted video store scene) of course AFTER you watch the movie. Hey, I like scarey movies, I liked the Scream Triolgies, Joy Ride, Halloween, etc. and have been watching them for years, but this one is just not THAT good.

Summary: Creative, Creepy and Enjoyably Incoherent
Review: This movie creeps you in a subtle but creative way. It doesn't splatter buckets of blood or show graphic gore but the visual images are still haunting and greatly add to a mostly intriguing plot. Although it boasts no major casting, the acting works sufficiently. The DTS surround sound effects were only minimal and unfortunately, greatly under-utilized. Increased surround effects could have greatly complemented the visual montage and made this movie even more chilling. Reminiscent of 'The Sixth Sense', 'The Ring' also features another overly serious and sensitive child character who seems to sense death. The dark and bizarre visual images will remind you of music video images by Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson and function well in setting up a mood of gloom, suspense and dread. 'The Ring' frightens but also leaves you with many unanswered questions. Since it is generally entertaining, the incoherence of the film isn't fully realized until you are done watching it. If you don't mind pondering questions and forming your own conclusions after the movie, the incoherence is entertaining and chillingly provocative.
