Summary: DO NOT WATCH ALONE IN THE DARK
Review: It has been many years since there was a movie that had me afraid of the dark. Needless to say this is one of them. All of the elements of the film emitted a dark eerieness. Both powerful performances and fabulous special effects make this move one of the greatest horror movies I have ever seen. Naomi Watts is no less than perfect and pushes her character to the max. If one loves to be scared half to death this movie is for you just make sure someone is there to hold your hand.

Summary: THE RING: SCARY OR NOT?
Review: I know most of you have heard about this movie and about how scary it is. Well, there is a level of horror to the movie but it plays more mindgames than anything else. This is the best attempt at a horror movie in a while. This movie makes ordinary things like a ladder, water, a man in a window, etc...seem really terrifying. Overall, this movie is actually a pretty good movie and that is why i gave it 4 stars. So if you get the chance to see this movie, watch it!!!

Summary: TV and VCR equal your doomed!
Review: This movie is very creepy scary..The setting for the plot is perfect.. late night ... remote areas..
small cast.. and visual effects are very effective..and it uses a medium we all use the TV VCR!I really think thats the key issue here, a mystery horror film
that really involves the audience through the TV VCR concept of evil can get you through any and all appliances.
Also if u have a phone you might expect that you can use an answering machine to deflect any messages from unwanted creeps..
guess again it seems this evil is on auto-pilot..lol If u used a DVD player to watch this film you might consider yourself in the safe zone.. dont count on it muahahahhahah!

Summary: good idea, bad movie
Review: I think diretor Gore Verbinski should leave the directors chair until he can learn how to make a movie that ties everything together. The movie starts out well and you expect to be scared throughtout the film. The only scary part after the death of the teenager is the fact that you won't be able to tie it together with the rest of the movie. The biggest problem with this movie was "the Ring" tried to put all 5 books into a two hour movie and doesn't do it well at all leaving the viewer with more questions than answers. If the mother wanted this child so desperately than why does she dump her into a well? Why can't the little girl sleep? Why does her father keep her in the barn? What is wrong with this little girl that her parents hate her? So if you figure out how the little girl dies then you get to live after seven days? Should we all make copies of our video tapes in case? Where did this tape come from? Is the little girl a demon? After some research on the internet I learned that the girl had esp, that would explain the connection she had with the boy but that is the only connection the dirctor uses to explain why the boy can understand what she is trying to say. This movie would have been more enjoyable if you didn't have to try and figure out what the director was trying to tell you and never was able to. If you like disjointed movies than this one is for you.

Summary: By far the SCARIEST MOVIE i have ever seen....NO JOKE!
Review: I have now seen "The Ring" a total of four times. Twice in the theater, and twice at home. I can honestly say, this is the scariest movie i have ever seen! I love scary movies, and this one is a great! It's not your typical blood and guts scary movie with a killer running around...The Ring really makes you think! There are still quite a few things that i don't understand, but each time i watch it, one more thing that i didn't understand before makes sense. As I look back, they make this movie so scary, and there is almost NO blood in this movie what-so-ever...except for a couple nose bleeds here and there, and a couple other little things, besides that, there is no blood. And the silence in this movie is one of the things that gets you. There isn't a whole lot of background sound, but some....and the little they do have, chills you to the bone. All the little things in it that remind you of stuff you've seen before in the movie are very clever, and unique. This movie was very well put together, and i think it deserves a ten out of ten! LOVED IT! Hope there's a sequel! OH! By the way...if you watch the movie, WATCH THE PART AFTER THE CREDITS.........makes it very interesting......ENJOY!

Summary: Pandora's Video Tape
Review: After having read reviews about this movie that badmouthed it I was a bit wary about just purchasing it when it came out, although I've wanted to see it for a while, so I rented it. I'll be buying it tomorrow. The plot at first seems silly, like the whole, candyman,candyman,candyman...you know what I'm getting at. But as the story unfolds, the silliness quickly melts away and the creep factor kicks in with full force. The performances of the cast are excellent and the movie is visually stunning. The lead charachter is Rachel, a cocksure reporter who's niece recently died under very strange circumstances. Rachel decides to investigate an urban legend about a video tape that kills its viewers (event horizon?) and quickly falls under the curse. Although Rachel has dug herself into a gigantic hole, she just can't put the shovel down and drags all sorts of people into it with her. This movie is not a hack and slash bloodfest, but a creepfest, full of atmosphere. I'd have to say though that the DVD is weak on special features and that is annoying.

Summary: Interesting movie
Review: I didn't find this movie frightening, however, I thought that it had enough suspense to keep my attention. If you didn't like Signs, then this might be your kind of movie, though not perfect, but it made more sense (it was marketed as a scary, suspensful movie which it was). Ignore the stuff when the movie tries to explain VHS codes and stuff--not very important, if it was, it was confusing. Overall, the movie was good.

Summary: Most horror isn't very scary
Review: This movie really truly scared me. I watched it twice, and even the second time it had me creeped out. It still creeps me out. Afterword it's the kind of movie that you have to think about, and talk about. The second time you watch it, there is lots of little details to catch, that make it even creepier. For a horror movie (generally I think they are just stupid), I think it is excellent. And besides the general freakiness of it, it is an overall good movie. The acting is good, and it's a physcholigical thriller.

Summary: Help me
Review: Just to add to the other user comments... Number of:
* times I had to stop the DVD: 7
* times I tried to get around the creepy select menu: 5
* hours I stayed up after watching the film: 12
* preteen kids that should watch this movie: 0
* unexpected flashbacks I've had since watching the movie: 35-50
* people here lying about not being freaked out: >10 This movie left me with some strange aftereffects. After it ended, I really didn't want to touch the DVD. I had to stay awake until dawn. I started looking at the TV like it could be a tool for two-way communication. I think this is what clinically diagnosed paranoia or obsessive compulsive disorder must feel or be like. I had the feeling that I needed to protect my family from the TV, because the TV was a gateway without a locking mechanism. I also live in an older house that isn't that well lit in some places and which tends to have certain distinct noises as you walk through it. Typically, you hear the noises and your mind rationalizes: "That's the floor. That's the wall. That's the fridge. That's the heating system." This movie interferes with that rationalization mechanism. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to find that your TV has turned on by itself and is showing just static, but as you go to turn the device off, you think you sort of see a shape hidden in the static, sort of like looking back at you. That's the feeling you get from watching this movie. This movie relies on the following conventions, which I am iterating here because it soothes my mind to do so: [SPOILER ALERT -- DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE] 1. Malevolent conversion of household appliances into instruments or avenues of supernatural transmission; cite "Prince of Darkness" and "Poltergeist". 2. Spectral containment of "the anguished child"; cite "The Changeling" (1980). 3. Revelation of temporal convolution by manner of supernaturally heightened perceptual awareness; cite "The Mothman Prophecies". 4. Spectral infection, and manifestation in electronic media; cite: "Videodrome", and the 'Ghost in the Machine' theme. 5. Alterations to universally accepted constructs of physical reality within a local reference frame as a singularity; like that Twilight Zone episode where a cut telephone line has grounded into a gravesite, and the gravesite dials out to a friend. 6. Viral infection and propagation. 7. Automatic writing as it relates to obsessive-compulsive repetition of superstition behaviors, and the propagation of chain letters and pyramid curses; 'nuf said. 8. Pattern recognition, and the final act of seeing something that has actually been there all along, watching. Or the recognition of having had things inserted into your mind subliminally, and of the realization of having been controlled by such intrusions; e.g., CIA radio waves, what is the frequency kenneth. This movie really freaked me out. I watched it alone in the house at night. The mundane portion is rather sadistic in its effective attempt to render itself realistically, and the alternating infrasound and silence in the soundtrack is really unnerving if you have a good subwoofer. The composition of the "killing video" portion seems to attempt to replicate sleep imagery and can cross the sleep/dream boundary while in a waking alert state, thereby causing flashbacks, and the sense of communication between the sleep and waking state. You'll want to turn off the movie at times because it distorts that feeling. And that subwoofer is really not a lot of fun in this movie because it can worry you. I am glad the movie has some plotholes because this offered relief, but not relief that lasts. I had to sleep in the afternoon because I needed the daylight. Right now it's dark outside again, and strangely, I don't want to have to go to sleep because I'm afraid something will try to get at my family. I want to throw my TV out, and perhaps I will later this evening. It has charged everyday objects with a sense of dread and strangely keeps flashing back. I don't want to see this god-forsaken movie again.
