Rating: Summary: Good Horror Movie Review: First of all, it just seems all the best movies are based on books. I mean, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Time Machine is okay. So, they made The Ring, based on a popular novel by Koji Suzuki. The movie is about a mysterious video tape that has awful consequences for the watchers. Four teenagers watch the tape and they all die at exactly 10:00. Then, a reporter tries to figure out how they died. You see a freaky image one of the dead ones and then the reporter swipes the video. She watches it and has 7 days to live. It's a great horror movie and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get freaked. One question: Shouldn't it be rated R?
Rating: Summary: Scary, but no where near what I thought it was going to be. Review: this movie had some scary images, to me that was the only thing that had me looking around. Rachel, the main characters niece dies a gruesome death, and she finds a blank video, and watches it. then she gets a phone call: "SEVEN DAYS." to me some of this movie was predictable, but had some upcoming surprises.I get scared easily, but to me surprisengly, it did not scare me. ...but it was still a really good movie, scary or not. BUY IT!
Rating: Summary: WOW! The Exorcist of the new millenium. Review: I'm not a chicken by nature. I don't believe in the supernatural world. But I do like horror, sci-fi, and fantasy movies (if they're well made, which doesn't happen often). But, man, this movie scared the pants off of me. I'm still spitting bricks just thinking about it. The scene with the girl and the well and the TV cannot be beat. But I'm also heartbroken for Samara. To live such a terrible life and then to suffer such a fate -- heartbreaking. I actually cried for her. The visual imagery of this film is stunningly and hauntingly beautiful. This film is not only eye candy, but it is so beautiful to watch. The colors and the scenery were breathtaking. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, even though I did force them to stay open at certain parts. The last movie to affect me this much was The Exorcist. I can't tell you more than what has already been written 700+ times before me here. If you want to watch a well-made, suspenseful, bonechilling, heartbreaking movie, then watch The Ring. But don't watch it alone or you'll stop watching midway because you won't have any clean underwear left. I'm keeping my lights on tonight, just in case...
Rating: Summary: 7 Days later... Review: A remake of the Japanese film Ringu, the Ring is quite possibly the best thriller to come out of Hollywood in a very long time. The story follows Raechel, a reporter for a local news syndicate. After the mysterious death of her niece, Raechel discovers a link to an urban legend about a videotape that kills everyone who watches it after seven days. When she finds the tape, (and watches it, despite better judgement) the race is on to uncover the dark secrets behind its origin and try to undo the curse of The Ring. A true edge-of-the-seat movie, The Ring combines eerie cinematography, disturbing imagery and well written story telling into an arabesque masterpiece, with plenty of shocks, surprises and twists to keep you interested. Using moments of sheer suspense and mind bending twists rather than constant bloodspray to terrify the viewer, The Ring is sure to keep you awake for weeks to come.
Rating: Summary: the awesome Review: This movie rocks!!! It's so scary you'll pee your pants.It'a diffently a must see. TRUST me if u can't resite at least one line of the Ring your just not cool. The Ring might be scary but there is one scene that is kind of funny. If you don't know what that scene is you might as well leave the country.

Rating: Summary: Caution: Not for the Faint of Heart Best Movie Ever!!! Review: The Ring is my favorite movie of all time. It keeps you on the edge of your seat from the chilling beginning to the thrilling conclusion. You get a feel for the characters. Naomi Watts shines playing Rachel, a single mother reporter. After the gruesome mysterious death of her niece, Rachel and her son Aiden's lives turn terrifying. Her niece had watched a nightmarish videotape that alledgedly kills you seven days after you view it. Rachel tracks down the tape and watches it. Now she has only seven days to find out what's out to get her and stop it before it's too late. The Ring sets the mood. The music is downright creepy, the lighting tinted dark, and the actors do a chilling job. The Ring is the scariest movie I've ever seen. Not for the faint of heart. I do not recommend watching this movie alone. A must see! I watched it over and over again. The details in the movie are stunning and each time you watch it you pick more things up. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. This movie will delight and haunt all.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Nightmarish Ghost Story Review: This movie was fricken scary. I literally could not sleep for a week after seeing this horror flick. Perfect weekend thrill for a nightly scare. Special effects were amazing. Story line was eerie. Samara was the scariest thing since Linda Blair. Enjoy!!!!
Rating: Summary: Best Damn movie ever! Review: The first time I watched this movie, I was hooked. I had to go out and buy the DVD and the Japanese versions. But the remake is no doubt the best. It's frightening, keeps you guessing every minute, and unpredictable. I am a huge fan of horror and suspense and I have not been shaken like that since I first saw Blair witch (when I thought it was REAL) This is a great movie and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a great scare. BRILLIANT!
Rating: Summary: An all-around good movie Review: Gore Verbinski's The Ring, an adaptation of the Japanese film Ringu, follows Naomi Watts' character, Rachel, a journalist attempting to uncover the mystery surrounding her niece's death. At the same time, she must save the lives of herself and her son from an impending death brought on by watching a videotape filled with bizarre images. As she gets closer to a solution to her problem, she discovers more and more details about the death of a young girl many years ago. Mainly, Verbinski does a good job of pulling the viewer into the movie. Following the mood set by the music played throughout the film, the colors in the movie are very bleak and washed-out. The film also benefits from its lack of special effects. Many computer-generated special effects are easily spotted, so it is refreshing to watch a movie in which the effects are kept simple. Also, the movie has a believable (although unfeasible) plot, which helps allow the viewer to be frightened. Once Verbinski has people enraptured, he throws them into a situation that cold conceivably happen. No one wants to imagine the events of this movie actually happening, thus causing fear in those who watch it. On the other hand, the plot tends involve suspense more than it does horror. Aside from some of the scenes toward the end of the film, after Rachel discovers the truth, most of the film does nothing but keep the viewer watching to find out what happens next. Taken as a whole however, Verbinski's The Ring is a very good movie. It is definitely worth watching, if not for its scariness, then for its suspense. No matter the reason, fans of horror and suspense movies should watch this film.
