The Ring (Widescreen Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Mood-y Ring
Review: Dark, sinister, and mesmerizing, "The Ring" is the type of old fashioned supernatural thriller that doesn't go for gratuitous violence or gore, but instead opts for crawling inside your head and creeping you out. The story revolves around a newpaper reporter (Naomi Watts) investigating a mysterious videotape that supposedly causes its viewers to die within 7 days of viewing. Attention must be paid--some plot points are hard to follow--but it's well worth the effort. The images from the tape are deeply disturbing, especially when all is revealed by the equally chilling story behind it. I particularly enjoyed the ending, which will appeal to anyone who's ever been sucked in by an urban legend, or heeded the warning of a chain letter.

Summary: Not what you're probably expecting
Review: This movie probably is not what you're expecting. It's hardly scary at all and the level of suspence is lower than an average X-files episode...Rent it, otherwise wait til it comes on HBO.

Rating:
Summary: A Laughable Horror Flick
Review: ...It started off as though it was going to be good. Then it was almost 2 hours of boredom...If you consider this movie scary in the least little bit, then you obviouly haven't seen a scary movie...

Summary: Good.. I Think
Review: I admit I'm still confused and I've been searching the net for more insight into this film. I have always liked horror/thriller films so I assumed I'd like this one. Well, in all honesty, I'm still not too sure if I liked it or not.
The movie is, well, about a movie. Four teenagers watch this movie and within seven days of seeing it, they're all dead. Now it's up to newspaper reporter Rachel to figure out what's going on. I've been told that it's an adaptation of the Japanese movie "Ringu" and that one is better. Whether this review is helpful or not, I don't know.. but I do think you should rent this movie.. it will atleast keep your mind busy until you figure it out.

Review: This was by far the scariest movie I have seen in a while. I highly recomend watching this and buying it just so you can watch it a second time without your hands hiding your face!!!

Summary: wow
Review: It IIIIIIIIIIIIIS haunting and it DOES have momemts of thrills and power... But a classic it will never be... Why??? It doesn`t have the ingredients of an intelligent script a`la SCREAM unfortunately... And the the finale??? Well it is for the squemish, but it needn`t be in the picture. It indicates only that a sequel is coming up....

Summary: Hype, hype, and more hype
Review: It has a plot, which is more than most movies these days. Unfortunately it doesn't make any sense nor is it scary.

Summary: The perfect example of over-hyped
Review: Every time I see a movie I love, I can never understand how others could completley hate it. Well, now I'll have a better understanding. I did not see this movie at the theatre but finally did see it on DVD this past Monday. I had heard how cool it was, how creepy and scary it was, and how "smart" it was for a horror movie. Well, I found it boring, not scary and predictable... The movie "spoon feeds" you the plot/story to you the whole time. How could you not know how it will end after seeing the fly "come alive"? Two people I watched it with had seen it in the theatre. They claimed after watching the "short film" made for the DVD that half of the sceens in the short film were actually in the theatrical version. I can't speak to that, but can say it wouldn't have made me like this movie anymore than I already did. I may have to say I'm getting old and am now "out of touch", but I'd rather watch Halloween, Evil Dead or Texas Chainsaw over The Ring every time!

Summary: A mixed bag but well worth seeing
Review: Wow. The first 30 minutes or so of the Ring creeped me out more than any movie in recent memory. Afterwards it evolves into a still-respectable mystery/supernatural thriller. As I write this, the day after my first viewing, I still get goosebumps thinking about certain scenes. The ONLY bad part about this movie is that it left so many unanswered questions and on the whole, didn't make a lot of sense. I hear a sequel is in the works so hopefully that will shed some light on it.
Still, I'm going to probably be more generous than I should with my score because the movie gave me more chills than I've had in a while.
