Summary: Great Movie
Review: The Ring is really one of the best scary movies that has ever been made. Basically, it is about a seattle reporter investigating her neice's death- supposedly from seeing a certain film when she was on a weekend trip with her friends. It is, in my opinion, a real scary movie. If you think about it, what is so scary about killing rages seen in most scary movies after they are seen for the first time? This shows what a real horror movie is all about. I saw it months ago and thinking about it still gives me the chills. Watch the movie- but realize that the plot is very elaborate and it won't be understood if you don't think about it.

Summary: The ring
Review: I am 33 yrs old and a long time fan of horrer, in all of it's degrees. It has been more than a decade since a movie, book,ect... has creeped me out as much as this movie did. I am temporarily afraid of the dark again. BEWARE. If you do not like for your head to be messed with in a really creepy way, then don't watch this movie, if you do, go for the full impact and watch it at night, alone, with all the lights out. Have fun.

Summary: WORST movie I've seen!
Review: This non stop CONFUSION of a film had got to be the worst horror movie of all time! The plots made NO sense, the ending was horrible and the ultimate 'scare' scene proved more amusing then scary. I actually paid money to watch this in the movie theater and nearly 3/4 of the way through the film, I had to ask my friend with me what the plot was actually about! Save your money! This movie isn't even worth renting! I would say wait for it to come on HBO!!

Summary: Good movie for sure but not THAT scary.
Review: Ok, you've read the reviews and know the plot, so we'll skip that. Many are saying this is the scariest movie in ages. That is simply not true. While "The Ring" does provide some legitimately tense moments I don't think it's AS scary some would lead you to believe. That's not to say it's not a good movie, in fact it's very good, with some borderline great performances. Naomi Watts proves "Mulholland Drive" was no fluke by serving up another strong showing. Thankfully she doesn't vamp up her role with unnecessary shrieking, screaming, etc. Nice job. Brian Cox is downright creepy in his role. "The Ring" however is not without a couple of plot holes that prevent it from being a great movie. They're pretty glaring so I won't risk spoiling anything for you by going into it here. Definitely watch it for yourself and decide.

Summary: Like nightmares?
Review: Ok. There are two types of horror movies: The ones that scare you because of what it shows (The Exorcist) and the ones that scare you because of what you don't know (Signs). The Ring on DVD is a third type of horror movie. It is one that scares you because of what you don't know what it is exactly that you are seeing. It will keep you guessing until the end. I was into the first half because it was so freaking scary, but more into the second because I didn't know what was going to happen next. And boy...what an ending! For someone who loves to scare kids as much as I do with my nieces, putting them through this movie would be like child abuse. I would not suggest this for kids...unless they think they can handle it. Even the FBI Warning and menu are freaky. The bottom line is, "The Ring" is a perfect movie for:
a) Slumber party / Sleepover
b) Horror movie marathon, and
c) Any excuse to get close to someone (wink, wink) But don't say I didn't warn you...

Summary: Chilling, but a little over drawn out
Review: When this came out the first thing I heard s that this is the most frightening movie within the past 10 years. It is so weird and chilling that it kept my fearless 17 year old brother up at night. Well I don't know about frightening but it was a weird movie. The RIng starts off like any horror movie with a teenage victim. The girl Katie watched the video with three friends and within a week they all die. After that her Aunt Rachel goes out to solve the mystery. She ends up finding the tape and watching it. She now has a week to solve it. As the mystery dwells deeper into the tale of a family with a bad misfortune many years ago and the stranger mystery of their daughter leading to a chilling finale, if not a little over done. Now for the biggest complaint. When my brother first saw this it immediatly reminded him of Silent Hill (Most chilling Playstation game ever) and how at the time of it's release it was so dark and freaky that we couldn't play it in the dark. Well like any gutsy horror fan I watched this in the dark, in it's entirty. I wasn't afraid once. Disturbed once or twice, but not frightened. I also got the feeling that it was released shortly after Fear Dot Com because in many ways the two movies were similar. Obviously this one was better made. Also the ending was way drawn out (By ending I mean the Jumper FInale that is in all Horror Films). However past that you have a very solid horror film that is surprisingly PG-13. Great for Teenage Girls Sleepovers that get them afraid. I would recomend this title.

Summary: Will send chills up your spine
Review: I am a horror movie freak, but very few of them actually scare me. I don't know if this film's impact will be lessened at home as opposed to the theater, but I plan to buy it and find out. The truly eerie images in this movie haunted me for several days and a few sleepless nights. If this film doesn't get under your skin, you're not paying attention.

Summary: I have started sleeping with my son's nightlight on!
Review: This was an awesome movie, but I never wanna see it again. It is not, like some horror movie, and simple bloodfest. Although the "whys" are a little hard to get if you think to hard. Just accept the simple reason given; it doesn't make much sense but by then I was too scared to care; I just wanted out of the theater. I'll admit I do get scared more easily than some people, but until I saw this movie, it was just fun. Since I saw this movie almost four months ago,I have started sleeping with my son's nightlight on, and if there is a TV in the room, it must turned on so I know it won't turn itself on before I go to sleep. I can think of certain scenes from this movies and be scared awake again. It was a good movie, but I suggest you rent it to be sure you can take seeing it more than once before you buy it. I also suggest watching it around noon with all the curtains open and lights on, preferablly in a busy part of your home where you will be disturbed and therfore will have your mind taken off it. Very scary, but very good.

Summary: This review is being generous
Review: Of all the horror films to be released as of late, I really did want to see The Ring, basically because I wanted to know how good or bad a PG-13 rated horror movie could be. After seeing countless horror films trying to be scary and frightening by using predictable tactics and loading on computer generated blood and gore, my faith that horror films of old that didn't rely on blood, gore, and gross out effects to be scary (Poltergeist, Pumpkinhead, the original Halloween) would be returning in films such as The Ring, but I was very disappointed. The film starts out with an eerie opening and some nice scares leading up to an investigation by a reporter (Naomi Watts from Mulholland Drive) into the death of her niece which involved a video tape rumored that if one watches it, seven days later you'll die. While the storyline is interesting and has a bit of originality to it, it seems that director Gore Verbinski wanted the film to be too suspenseful. Not to mention some things are never explained in the film (such as why the horses flipped out) and by the time the credits start rolling you'll have more questions than answers. The acting is pretty well done, but the child actor playing Watts' son seems a bit out of place and a little creepy himself. What really makes me wonder though is how big a hit The Ring was in theaters, most of which were populated by mid-teen girls who had never heard of and/or seen any films gracing titles like Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Pumpkinhead, Last House On the Left, or Hellraiser. Those films were original (the first installments of the ones which became a series that is) and truly deeply scary. The Ring is simply overrated, and is teen horror at it's near worst. I suggest checking out the Japanese film it was based on; Ringu, that is at least watchable.

Summary: Easy the scariest movie ever
Review: This was the scariest and spookiest movie I've ever seen. Not a "slasher movie" - so the teens don't get it, but great for folks over 20. Plus Naomi Watts, which is a very good thing!
