Summary: The Ring will scare the pants off of you!
Review: The Ring is the scariest movie I have ever seen---especially for being a PG-13 movie. It wasnt bloody, but it was visually horrific. I love it and I love the effect it had on me. It scared my friend so much that she ran out of the movie theatre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Believe it, people! .... It IS the scariest film ever!!!!
Review: This is, by far, THEEEEE scariest movie in my lifetime. Better than 'The Exorsist' by far (no question about it!!!). I have been extremely disappointed with the "scary" movies of this generation (Halloween sequals, Freddy Kreuggar, Jason, The Blair Witch, Scream etc). The fear in those movies, is so obvious, you might be frightened the first time but you can't ever enjoy a second round of it after you've already seen it in the movie theater. Well, guess what people...this is the real deal. This movie didn't really get a lot of hype (I thought) for the fear it instills in you. I didn't even want to see it until my sister raved about it for days. It's amazing!!! You take this fear home with you after you watch it. It lingers like smoke and just when you think it's gone (the fear), you're by yourself, doing laundry at 12 midnight and you keep seeing these images. When you're driving home, by yourself, AT NIGHT... it pops into your mind and you are deathly afraid again...your heart's racing, you're getting sweaty..."Why, oh why do I do this to myself?...I'll bet you step on it a bit to get home a little quicker. It's the movie that keeps on giving even after (you think) its over. This truly is creepy and spine-tingling. Hair ACTUALLY raised off of my skin. Finally, a movie that earned these adjectives. If you have ever seen 13 Ghost's, you'll know how scary that parana ghost guy is that attacks the daughter (the guy with his head in a box). Well, multiply that by 100 and this is what you feel for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. I went to see it in the movies (just once) with my sister and I ended up missing the last 45 minutes (truthfully) because I was so scared. I had a greasy napkin (from eating popcorn) held up to my glasses with my pinkies (covering them) and my thumbs in my ears humming Silent Night Holy Night just so I could breath because I was so frightened. I lost my breath a few times. I am extrememly anxious for March 4, 2003 so I can receive my copy to actually (try) to view this movie ... again. For those of you who have already seen this movie...How freaked out was I when the buttery surface of my glasses distorted my view of everything following the movie?!!! It was quite similiar to the distorted view the charactors saw after they watched.....THEEEEE video tape....7 days, my friend....7days...

Summary: A keeper for my movie collection
Review: Personally the movie did not scare me, so I was a little dissapointed since so many people said it was so scary. But I'm a difficult person to scare since I've seen many many horror movies and have not seen one that I'd actually call scary in at least the last 3 years.

However, the movie more than makes up for that with it's beautifully created eerie and disturbing imagery. The movie's official website ...is equally as well done has the same feel to it. Everything about the movie is absolutely gorgeous. I think for me, the visuals were too intriguing and awesome for me to be scared. Hard for me to feel fear when I'm filled with astonishment and admiration for the visual effects.

Also a great somewhat-original storyline (if you don't count it's Japanese counterpart made only a year earlier). This video is an absolute must for my video library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth your time
Review: I personally love this movie. Sure, the movie will leave you with questions, but nothing that in any way affects the movie. American audiences tend to be more critical of holes in movies than do Japanese audiences anyway. (The Ring, of course, is a remake of the Japanese Ringu, which in itself is based on a Japanese horror novel.)
So I say watch this movie to enjoy it, and don't worry about trying to figure out how the heck the evil tape got made in the first place. (Seriously, it's a supernatural movie. Therefore, some things can't be explained by logical things, right?)
Bottom line: Entertaining movie with good actors, a creepy atmosphere, and an ending you'll never forget! Also, a heck of a lot better than movies like Darkness Falls.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I almost peed my pants
Review: Ok, here is some background. So my parents never let me watch horror movies when i was a kid, I'd sneak in the nightmare on elm street or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre here and there but never watched a lot of them. Now I'm 21, and this movie scared the bejesus out of me. Going to sleep that night i kept waiting for the television to turn on. Like the previous reviewer, the use of sound was great, sound and sudden grotesque images. I wouldn't preorder it for amazon's [$$], i'm sure after it comes out you'll be able to pick it up for less. Make sure this one is in your DVD stable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TERRIFYING!!
Review: This movie, although a remake of some japanese film, is strong enough to hold its own and is simply amazing. Its been (literally) YEARS since i've seen a TRULY scary movie. The Ring is incredible, watch it! ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ignore Kris...
Review: This is by far the scariest movie that has come about in a while. The acting is terrific, the plotline is good (some loopholes here and there, but nobody's perfect) and the ending is also superb. Few films have come along that have been as terrifying as this one. I can't wait for the dvd.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE WEIRDEST MOVIE
Review: I went to the theather to see this movie expecting that it would be different. I had no idea what this film was about. After seeing "The Ring" I experienced many unusual things at my house. I heard noises and even saw the little girl. I wish that I was joking but that movie really FREAKED ME OUT!! I will never watch that movie again. The flashes on the screen come back at you after seeing the movie and if you notice there really isn't any kind of music in this film. I know that many people are probably reading this and thinking what a wimp...but I have been watching scary movies since I was five and I have never seen anything like this. I would not recommend this movie especially to kids. I think that this movie has a lot of evil in it. If I could I wouldn't even give this a star because it doesn't deserve it. I know that many people will think that it is just another "spooky" movie with no story line. I think that there is a lot more behind this movie that meets the eye.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ignore this Ring, what you want is...
Review: The original Ring may not have been released in the US, but Amazon.co.uk has the UK version. Of course, you'll need a multi-region DVD player, and you'll have to pay UK prices...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Insane Mind Breakage!!!
Review: This movie is the most mind breaking movie I've ever seen.
It scared me so much that I was laughing in hysteria afterward.
In fact the entire theater was. I highly recommend this move to anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller. It's insane!
