Summary: The scariest movie since The Sixth Sense!
Review: Unfortunately, the Sixth Sense wasn't really scary either. (but don't get me wrong, I liked the 6th sense)The movie starts you off with two stupid girls doing their stupid late night girly things, when they conveniently let the audience know all about the urban legend of a video tape that kills you 7 days after you watch it. Coincidentally, one of the girls watched it, and it's been 7 days. She gets the axe. A nice enough start, but it's all down hill from here folks. What follows is a story so bland and void of any sort of coherence or exposition that it made me want to scratch my eyes out. I will say that it had some nice visual effects and the "video" itself was actually kind of neat. However, that's not nearly enough to tickle my fancy. HOWEVER, I myself am a fan of thinking movies, and this movie definately made me think. It made me think, "What in the hell inspired me to pay $ and waste two hours of my evening to watch this piece of ...." I don't like a movie to tell you everything, however this movie tells you nothing. Don't see it. Better yet, DO see it for yourself and share in my pain and agony. By the way...it's not scary. AT ALL!

Summary: POSSIBLY THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: I would like to know who made this....crap?? Is this a movie?? There is no plot and i wasted 2 hours of my life watching it. It is not even worth 5 dollars for renting it, don't waste your time watching a movie ABOUT a stupid movie...When you have to start making horror movies about horror movies then you really need to stop...anyone who thinks this movie is good must of seen the wrong movie..horrible acting...horrible plot...dont't watch it for even 2 seconds, you'll be confused for the rest of your life (i still am trying to figure out the bunch of meaningless ideas the directors threw in at the end fit in with the movie)

Summary: One of the scariest movies I've ever seen!
Review: "The Ring" is the scariest movie I've seen since "The Blair Witch Project". Both movies had the same effect on me--they kept me up all night and creeped me out for days. If you are creeped out by dark wells, homicidal ghosts, and creepy images, then this movie will definitely scare you. The movie had a "sandwich" effect on me--I was scared in the beginning, then the fear gave way to fascination in the middle as the mystery of the "cursed video" (the one that kills you after seven days from watching it) slowly unfolds, and then I was thouroughly scared again at the end. In this middle part, we follow Rachel (played excellently by Naomi Watts) as she tries to intrepret the simple yet puzzling images she sees on the video, before her seven days are up. I won't give anything else away, since the less you know about the plot, the better. In fact, you will find that the movie leaves a lot of "holes" in the plot and doesn't give away all the details, which greatly adds to the mystery. The cinematography in this film is staggering, and greatly adds to the creepiness of the film. The movie was filmed in Washington State, which is the perfect location for such a film because of it's gray, damp atmosphere. The horror mainly relys on the effects of the visual images, and the filmmakers did a good job of maintaining an eerie atmosphere throughout. If the images don't scare you, then the movie didn't do it's job. But for me they did, and I was up half the night thinking about them. For added effect, watch this movie alone in the dark. However, this may cause significant insomnia afterwards, so don't say I didn't warn you! (And don't worry, you won't die after seven days from watching it...)

Summary: The Ring - Ringu 1 & 2 Light
Review: Watching "The Ring" is like watching a light version of "Ringu" 1 and 2. At that's exactly what it is. A mix of the plots of the two 1st "Ringu" movies (per example the screen that the 1st victim's friend uses to avoid seeing the TV is from "Ringu 2"). And when I say light, I mean with less plot, more action/special effects sequences and, well, simply less frightening. They also added things that weren't there in the first place at the expense of other things. The father having the power ESP might sound stupid to some, but it explains the son's visions. And why did they have to add an entire scene with a horse gone mad? Why did the horse go mad anyway? It's not like Samara intended to [do away with] Rachel with that horse. There were several days left! Ok, so Samara hated horses, still, why? Well, that was 5 minutes wasted for no good reason. And there's too much music. In the original "Ringu" movie, there was less music, which added to the eerie atmosphere. And as others have said before, the movie is too self-explainatory. Who in their right mind would sit at home after that her ex-husband/ex-boyfriend was killed by a mysterious girl through a TV-screen and ask herself "What did I do that you didn't? *SEES VIDEOTAPE* I copied it... and showed it to you...". Sounds like a kid's movie. And the ending was a bit disappointing. "So what will happen to the people that we show it to? Will they die too?". It's a good enough movie, though. It does scare you, but not quite as much as the "Ringu" series. I especially recommend "Ringu 0". Unlike "Scream 3", "Ringu 0" put both of its predecessers to shame! Let's hope that "The Ring 2" (a standalone that won't have anything to do with the original "Ringu" series) will be better.

Summary: The mood is the key
Review: When I first saw "The Ring" at the theater, it caught me off-guard. To say that this fine and extremely stylish horror film frightened me would be an understatement. This film worked beneath my skin, striking multiple chords and leaving me genuinely creeped out. Film director Gore Verbinski has done an excellent job in remaking the 1998 Japanese horror classic "Ringu." He was in a no-win situation, as most Hollywood directors are when trying to remake superior European/foreign films. "Ringu" is superior, only because it came first. But "The Ring" is as frightening a ghost story as you are most likely to see. And that is really all that "The Ring" is at heart - a ghost story. Like "The Sixth Sense," another stylish ghost story enjoyed by American masses, "The Ring" creates an ominous, supernatural sense of doom. The dead walk among us in these two films. But the eventual difference is that in "The Ring," the ghost does not particularly like the living. And there is no easy way out for the stalked protagonists. The plot, now familiar, details a mysterious videotape. When watched by unlucky viewers, they die within seven days. After the death of four teenagers, who viewed the tape following a weekend trip to a remote cabin, a Seattle newspaper reporter (the lovely Naomi Watts) investigates the case. Yes, she watches the tape, and realizes her days are numbered. The intensity level is cranked up when her son accidently views the tape himself, and now the mystery must be solved within the dreaded time. "The Ring" succeeds because of the eerie sense of mood it creates. The images on the videotape itself are gloomy, to say the least. The Pacific Northwest locale of Seattle and the surrounding countryside (used so well in early "X-Files" episodes) also establishes a foreboding atmosphere. In "The Ring," the skies are always overcast, the forests are forbiddingly dark and the rain continually falls. And of course, there's the ghost. I will not describe this creepy apparition, suffice to say when it does make an appearance, I found myself wanting to close my eyes and flee. It is a nightmare come to life, much like the videotape itself. To me, whispers are far more terrifying than screams. In "The Ring," it is whispers emanating from dark places you will remember most.
