Come on, what are people looking for? One of the scariest lines I've ever heard/seen. "Mom you weren't supposed to help her". I know it's a copied Americanized version but still unique to us. As scary to an adult as a movie can be in my opinion.

A compelling and interesting movie which has unfortunately been mislabelled as a horror movie. It would be more appropriately dubbed a supernatural mystery.

I didn't know what to expect with this flick, but it ended up being the first film since the exorcist that had me feeling a steady chill of creepiness coursing through my body the whole time. There were a few "gotcha" shock moments, but they didn't hit that hard. The strength of the film is it's mood/aura. I have to knock a few points off though because of some minor plot holes and some things not being explained/fleshed out in a way that would have been proper and satisfying for this movie.

I also don't get what it was about the TV scene that stuck with so many people. The whole scene in the well is the one I'll never forget. Just gave me such an ultra creepy feeling.

Oh and one last note - I really want to impregnate Naomi Watts.… Expand

The movie holds up fairly well despite that the flickering creepy visuals which on release seemed fresh and original are now very common place in film and television. The tone and the creepy atmosphere are still what the movie does well, its very relieving to watch a horror movie that doesnt rely on violence and gore to get its message out. The acting and characters do their job and the plot holes arent big enough to be too distracting. Overall I would still consider The Ring one of my favourite modern horror movies, still being creepy and intriguing, despite perhaps not standing out of the crowd as much as it once did.… Expand

There are some truly terrifying moments to be found in The Ring, but really, where it succeeds is a non-reliance on those scares. Through a truly creepy atmosphere set by director Gore Verbinski and composer Hans Zimmer, The Ring keeps you on edge without having to terrify you. In this way, The Ring is far more thriller than horror film, rather it is a thriller with horror elements. The way it adds to this with a great mystery/detective component as they try to figure out the backstory to the tape is captivating and truly engaging. I know it is a remake, but it still felt very refreshing in that way. Naomi Watts is great in this one, as are David Dorfman and Brian Cox. There may be scarier horror-type films out there, but not many as well crafted and put together as The Ring. What it lacks in scares, it more than makes up for with great direction, music, acting, and a killer story.… Expand

The truth is if the movie wasn't so damn good it wouldn't have started such a big trend. That being said its really one of the only ones that adapts it's source material quite successfully. It takes the story of an evil girl whose thrown down a well and haunts a cursed video tape. That if you watch it you get a call and only have 7 days to live. It's truly a nightmarish concept that has an urgency that just works. The original Ringu is superior and a brilliant film that is saturated in Japan's religion and mythology. Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) adds a domestic spin to the material that doesn't overdo it and just works. I remember going to see this at a preview show weeks before it came out and people freaked during the finale. In fact one grown man ran out of the theater. It's easy to see why the film was such a word of mouth big hit and deservedly so. From the stylish direction to the star making performance from Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive) as well as solid work from hunky Martin Henderson (Torque), David Dorfman (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Amber Tamblyn (Grudge 2) and Brian Cox (X2). Unfortunately it was followed up by an overly mediocre sequel and an awful reboot. Hopefully somewhere down the line they'll be able to continue it all successfully. A direct sequel to the first wouldn't be a bad idea.

Budget: $48m

According to legend, the video tape kills those who watch it in seven days. During the investigation, however, Rachel will eventually endanger herself and also the people she loves.

Directed by Gore Verbinski, this film is perhaps one of the most famous and interesting psychological horror films of the recent years. The cast is led by Naomi Whats, Martin Henderson and David Dorfman, in the role of Rachel, her ex-boyfriend Noah and their son Aidan, a child who has an intelligence higher than normal for his age. Naomi Whats deserves a certain prominence, having got here one of the most memorable performances of her career to date.

Adapting for the screen a novel by Koji Suzuki, this film has a very interesting soundtrack, which further deepens the suspense and expectation, that are just right for lovers of this refined kind of terror. A reference movie and worthy of congratulations.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd like to start off by saying that this is one of those movies that I watched purely based on a curiosity factor (I just made that up lol). Its a movie along the same lines as the Blair Witch Project, whereby people talked about it quite alot and it got hyped up, the story sounded intriguing and so you wanted to watch it and decide for yourself whether it was as good as the hype indicated. I was aware that this movie is an American remake of a popular Asian (I think Japanese) movie, similar to movies such as The Grudge which was also originally an Asian movie which became very popular and America took note of this and chose to try and remake it into a movie to suit Western audiences. I have to say that I'm aware that such movies as these, which are often labelled as being horror movies, don't tend to 'go down' too well with me personally but yet that aforementioned 'curiosity factor' tends to get to me in the end and I'll end up watching these movies anyway as the premise interests me enough to see what its all about, so to speak. I remember being particularly dissapointed with The Blair Witch Project, with its ending making me want to shout 'is that it?!' at the TV screen at the time but I'm happy to say that I feel that this movie was slightly better, although I can't say that I was overly keen on the ending.

Unlike The Blair Witch Project, The Ring doesn't entirely rely on your mind conjuring up your own images of 'the boogie man' who you somehow know is there but yet cannot see, in this movie said 'boogie man' is actually a young girl with long black hair, whom you can barely see her face and little is known about her for some time into the movie. However, similar to said other movie, this movie doesn't feature a great amount of action scenes, of true horror material I'd say and I would, to an extent, dispute the label it seems to have been given as being a horror movie, instead I'd say its more a sort of a mix of a psychological thriller and even a partial ghost story. There are definitely scenes that will make some people jump and there is indeed a smattering of moderate violence and unsettling images, mainly in the footage on the infamous tape which is shown in the movie, so I wouldn't say that its not at all scary, although I didn't feel scared personally, it was more...unsettling I think is the word. For example, there is one very brief scene in 'the tape' whereby you can see that somebody's finger is about to be impaled on a nail - lovely(!) unsettling and makes you flinch but not really scary as such. It should probably be said that there are other scenes further into the movie which are more likely to make you jump but its mainly spooky and unsettling rather than being at all gory.

I found the movie pretty engrossing, although I found myself surprised by the plot to an exent. The story wasn't quite what I expected, with the emphasis being on Rachel trying to identify and trace the locations that appear on 'the tape' thus hoping to unravel the mystery behind its origins, which does, slowly but surely, happen but in a way its a shame as it becomes more human in a sense (does that make sense?) and there aren't too many real 'shock factor' scenes in the middle of the movie, as the mystery unravels, by that point in the movie its more like a crime thriller than it is a horror movie really and I found myself struggling a bit to fully grasp the plot turns, particularly in the final scene, which is rather gimmicky and I felt was a bit of a let down, although I would say that overall this, to me, was a better movie than The Blair Witch Project, I felt it was more entertaining and engrossing overall but it certainly wasn't without its 'quirks' shall I say. To summarise, I'd say that this isn't the worst movie of its type, certainly that I've seen, yet at the same time it has its issues - its engrossing but a little confusing and a bit slow moving, plot wise, mid way through. Some people would probably be a bit disappointed in the lack of scares roughly, again, mid way through the movie but on the other hand, I never felt compelled to switch it off and I felt like even though it has flaws, its still entertaining and somewhat intriguing somehow.

I can't deny that I still found it rather engrossing and I suppose entertaining while watching it and I'm sure people who are perhaps more keen on such movies will find a few scenes that will 'creep them out'. I feel that this isn't the worst movie of its type, though its not for me it probably will be enjoyed more by others, so I suppose I'd cautiously recommend it.… Expand

The introduction to this film is very smart. After few minutes into the film you realize just how mature and suspenseful of a film this really is. The characters are great. Rachael Keller is the perfect journalist. Noah Clay is sort of a comic relief, he's sarcastic and stubborn but is also very smart.

Film is very unique in it's style, full of flash backs, creepy imagery, nightmares, mysteries, and hallucinations. It's very bizarre and surreal at times, which isn't very out of place since this is a supernatural horror/thriller.

Overall, I would recommend this movie to any one with intelligence and an imagination. It is an amazing horror movie. I loved it and so will you, trust me.… Expand

First, the design of the movie is spot on. It's dreary and rainy and everything seems tinted blue, which gives the film an aura of dread and discomfort throughout. This is good though, because it complements the story really well and so it puts you in the right mood for the film. Next, I found the story to actually be really interesting. It follows Naomi Watts as she does some investigating into the inexplicable deaths of some kids (one of whom she knows), and so you find out the twists and turns of the plot just as she does. While it obviously has supernatural elements, it operates in a realm that is plausible, where the characters make intelligent decisions, and where there aren't any cheap scares. You actually care about the main characters and you feel as curious as they do. I also like how, as opposed to the original, there isn't a lot of unexplained exposition. Rather, Watts actually has to SEARCH to put her story together, and added plot elements I think clear the story up and make it more compelling. In terms of scares, it doesn't have many, but that doesn't mean it isn't a scary movie. Again, the scares come from how the film is. It just feels creepy and chilling, and so instead of multiples scares with breaks of comic relief, it's just one long drawn-out scare. You still see Samara out of the corner of your eye when you're home alone at night, and you still jump when the phone rings. One of my favorite horror movies. Chilling, smart, entertaining, and well made.… Expand

There are definitely some very scary scenes such as the opening scene and when Samara comes out of the TV, but the film is really about trying to crack the curse. The fact that the main character, Rachel, only has seven days to break the curse adds an extra level of tension. "The Ring" also has great acting from the entire cast, and the cinematography is amazing. This really isn't the sort of movie that resorts to jump scares and excessive gore to scare the audience; it's all about tension and atmosphere.

There are one or two twists that are not quite believable, but on the whole, RING stays true to its formula, which is to provide an intelligent scare for people who truly value the genre.… Expand

I'm probably one of the few in this. Maybe the only one. I just wanted to say that compared to the original, where I was scared a few times and quite scared here and there, I wasn't scared at all here. It was a good movie, though, that's for sure.

Some of I was shocked and appauled when I saw that The Ring only scored a 57 on metacritic.com. Clearly the reviewers presented failed to see not only the cinematic brilliance of the film, but the intelligence of it's winding plotline. Some of the shots in The Ring are simply breathtaking, and the cinematography alone makes it worth seeing. As well, the "evil" tape itself is very sophisticated, and many of the images presented are viewed by many psychologists as "death images" i.e the maggots, the empty chair, and the ladder to nowhere. As for the plot line; it twists and turns always keeps you guessing. Despite it's complexity, their are no loose ends left, and by the end of the movie everything fits together like clockwork. Like other artistic horror movies such as 28 Days Later, The Ring is horrifying in it's imagery and atmosphere, not through blood and guts. It may not be the scariest movie that you'll ever see, but I definitely had goosebumps throughout. I'm VERY dissapointed to see that so many of the above reviews have failed to see the intelligence that Verbinski applies to each and every camera angle. If you have half a brain about you, I recommend The Ring over any other horror movie in recent years.… Expand

The Ring is an amazing horror movie that everyone has watched at least once. The story is perfect, I loved everything about this movie, I just wish this movie was a lot scarier.

I think it's a good movie. 1 scene is scary, but the rest of the film is quite interesting.

Favorite Horror movie of all time, alongside just being one of my favorite movies. Still terrifying to this day.
