Summary: Stop Color-Bleaching Films. No More Green-Tinting!
Review: Many subliminal images here in this film. Very eerie and gross. I dislike the films that are shown in green tint also known as color-bleaching and ultra-violet. Please Hollywood, New York and Vancouver, to all directors and producers: Film Your Movies in Brilliant Normal Color! Easter Egg: On your DVD remote control, press your up or down button until you see the red lesser/greater ^ sign disappear. Then press "Play". You will see more subliminal images. When done. Start screen appears again. You will hear phone ring. This film is NOT for children to see. Adults Only. This USA version of the film is a remake from the Japanese version "RINGU".

Summary: BRILLIANT
Review: this movie is freaky and scary. but AWESOME. it gives me the chill even now! i have to watch it at least 3 times to understand it. it's kinda scary when the girl(samara i think) crawl out of the tv, now this might sound stupid, but i wouldn't even dare to watch that part! The Ring was the first horror movie that i had ever had a dream of. now that shows how creepy it was! i recommend this to all horror movie lovers, u'll love this!

Review: Ah good old Doug from...The Edge Of Hell. Hot there is it, it clearly has affected you.Firstly giving a fairly decent film 1 star, did you actually watch it? The ghost interacted "through" the video, not "threw" as you put. It didnt chuck the videos around, or maybe you'd accidentally put on Mutant Ninja Turtles instead of the Ring, go check the box. Secondly to say you didnt know that camcorders were around in the 60s show you have no clue what the film was about. The child/spirit was communicated via a video. It had put its ghostly message on the tape. Understand now? The parents hadn't stood around videotaping them killing it. Are you sure you are of the age where you can watch a film like this and comprehend what is going on on the screen? Thirdly, you could choose not to pick the phone up. Yes that may have broken the cycle. But again you're missing a point, that is apart from a couple of people in the film, you DONT KNOW not to pick the phone up. There wasnt a message on the end of the video saying; "if you pick the phone up you die", which allowed them to think "ooh I'd better not pick the phone up". To finish you say; "Anyways, my rant doesn't probably make sense to those who haven't watched it." Trust me, your rant doesnt mean squat to people who HAVE watched it, as you clearly missed some major plot points big time! Watch it again.

Summary: I give it a turkey, it shouldn't even get a star
Review: I didn't know ghost like to interact threw VHS tapes. How scary is that? I probably should watch the movie again so I can be fair; however I remembered that it sucks pretty badly anyways. You have 7 days from the time you pick up the phone to live!?!?! If you don't pick up the phone after you watch the video, the mean ole ghost won't kill you. IT will just keep calling you back until you pick up, then you have 7 days. Funny, I don't remember camcorders being around in the 60's. Anyways, my rant doesn't probably make sense to those who haven't watched it.

Summary: Chilling Thriller
Review: I love this movie. It is probably my second favorite movie ever (trailing after "A Walk to Remember" of course.) I laughed, screamed, and ducked under my blanket. I thought it had a great plot and was a well-thought through movie. A couple images were disturbing, but after seeing the film once, you can close your eyes the next time. I'd recommend this movie to anybody that enjoys a good scare now and then.

Summary: The plot has a few holes, but WHO CARES
Review: Think about the last time you had a real doozy of a nightmare. You know, the kind that make you wake up drenched in sweat? Did you analyze the plot of your nightmare while you were experiencing the utter fear? Did it ever occur to you that what was transpiring might not be making sense? Of course not. Likewise, those who criticize this movie for the red herring at the end and the plot holes are barking up the wrong tree. The Ring is all about the visual and audio effects, and what a masterful job Gore Verbinski does with them. It isn't the plot so much as the scenes that are disturbing. The eerie sunset by the cabin, the evil death tape, and the terrifying image of the well slowly closing are only a few of the horrific scenes that will stick in your brain for days. There are no sappy humanistic statements or heavy-handed political messages (the end of the film actually makes a cruel parody of this annoying trend), just pure, unadulterated FEAR. I haven't seen this movie outside of the theater, so I cannot comment on the replay value. However, I can tell you that even though I read the spoiler for The Ring beforehand, I still had trouble sleeping for days after I saw it.

Summary: Great until the last 10 minutes....
Review: This is a good film with an interesting storyline that moves along nicely. The acting is solid and the script is tight - no unneeded or overlong scenes. I loved that it was set in Seattle - a creepy place to begin with. What I liked best was that Rachel is portrayed as intelligent. This is still a rarity for women in films. Rachel acts and reacts in ways that a real woman with a brain would. Yes, she does some very brave things during her seven days, but she has nothing to lose by taking huge chances to save her own life (since she's cursed anyway). Had the film ended when the mystery of the ring was solved, this would have been a perfect horror film. The viewer would have understood why the eerie tape existed and what it was supposed to accomplish. I guess the writers wanted to end on a darker note, but the ending actually just made the rest of the film less effective. It's as if the writers were so desperate to add a macabre twist that they just threw something together for the very end. I would still recommend this movie as an intelligent thriller - just don't expect a great ending.

Summary: "A very scary movie"
Review: "The ring" is a very scary movie, whice have a lot of blood, murders and a scary things that don't suitable for a little children (in fact, the movie is for people who up 17 years old). The movie is very invested and convincing and the scenes of the murders and the scary scenes are amazing and they put you in shock. you freezing in you place when you see it- it is really really scary! the movie has a wonderful plot and the story is done excellent. all the movie you are confused and you trying to understand what is going on and in the end of the movie you understand all the details who were blurred in the movie. the actors are very good and when you see the movie you see that the movie is very invested and that a lot of people invested in him a lot of time. i liked the movie- he is great and really scary!

Summary: OMG
Review: This movie is the scariest movie I've ever seen since " The Blair Witch Project. " There are a lot of jumpy parts and many VERY disturbing images to make this a true horror/suspense film. When you see the first death happen you will be a little confused about what acully happened to them until a later scene where you really see what happens to them. This scene is very scary. WARNING! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE DO NOT READ BELOW! When it shows the first death it suprises you and litterally makes tingles in your body. When Rachael is talking to her nieces mom at her neices(katies) funeral, katies mom says" I-I-I.. saw her f-face" at this moment it cuts to another scene where katies mom opens katies closet and what you see will terrify you, this is the first REAL scary part. The other scary parts were when Samara crawls out of the well and out of the T.V. and when Rachael is down in the well. EEK!
This movie is so frickin' scary! When I first saw it I had the worst nightmares imaginable. So if you want scary, rent or buy this movie on DVD. PS. Don't forget to watch the selection on the DVD menu that says " Don't Watch This"

Summary: Surprise!
Review: I've seen both Ringu and The Ring. (I saw Ringu first.) I can't believe it has happened, but Hollywood has managed to pull off the better of the two. Neither are great movies by any stretch (I'd give it 3 and a half stars if I knew how), but I was amazed to find that I thought the US version was more fleshed out and had a better, more interesting storyline. This is certainly an exception to the rule. Generally, US filmakers take a fine foreign film and "hollywoodize" it to death, making a mockery of it. Not so here. Genuinely creepy in parts (though I thought the final scene was pulled off with more creepy effect in the original Japanese version), I was skeptical, but I thought The Ring to be enjoyable and it darn near freaked my wife out of her wits. I love that. In an era when most "horror" films are vehicles for scantily clad teenyboppers and aimed at kids, it's nice that lately there have been a few fairly effective ones (The Others, The Gift, and a bit earlier, Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes). Wait until dark, shove a sack of popcorn in the microwave, watch it and see if you don't get a few hairs standing endwise on the back of your neck. Bravo.
