Customer Reviews of The Ring (Widescreen Edition)
Psychological Horror For those who like their horror with spurting blood and ear-piercing screams, "The Ring" will disappoint since its disturbing eeriness stems more from psychological tension and creepy images. That's not to say it doesn't have its gory moments, though. Naomi Watts plays Rachel, a reporter, who sets out to decipher why her teenage niece died unexpectedly. When she hears rumors of a deadly videotape, she tracks it down and watches it alone in a cabin. The tape itself is not frightening - not at first; it's a surreal collage of striking, bizarre images. But immediately after seeing it, Rachel receives a phone call that sets everything in motion.
The pacing is superb as no scene, no moment is wasted. Director Verbinski makes sure that the viewer must pay attention to every word, and this intense demand on the viewer increases the tension. The videotape itself evolves as the film does, making its initial strangeness transform into real horror. As Rachel discovers the meaning of each image, the suspense mounts, especially when her friend Noah (Martin Henderson) and her small son Aidan (David Dorfman) become involved. Watts does an admirable job keeping her character grounded and real, and that goes a long way in upping the stakes for the viewer. Little David Dorfman plays her adorable but creepy son Aidan with just the right amount of wide-eyed expression and deadpan delivery. Just wait until the next time you slip a VHS tape into a player, or flick on the television. You will immediately be taken back to this film with a small jolt.
This chilling film relies heavily on atmosphere and anticipation to evoke its horror. Watch it at night in a darkened room for maximum creepiness. Viewers with overactive imaginations will be freaked out, and shouldn't watch it alone. Skip this, however, if you don't find cinematic mind games creepy enough. Although most people won't find "The Ring" heart-palpitating terrifying, they will come away from its viewing with its disturbing eeriness under their skin.
A serverly under-rated film!
"The Ring" is a merciless thriller, threateningly beautiful to look at and eerie to behold. Director Verbinski and screenwriter Ehren Kruger. Every scene and every shot of "The Ring," the smart American remake of the popular 1998 Japanese horror film "Ringu," contains a nearly suffocating feeling of dread. It weighs down heavily on the characters' lives and the viewer's head, refusing to let up. Directed by Gore Verbinski (2001's "The Mexican") with a sharp eye for visual detail and a keen sense of generating suspense, the film is a creepy and considerably unsettling experience that works its way deeply under your skin. The frightening prologue is a real attention-grabber. During a sleepover, two teenage girls, Katie (Amber Tamblyn) and Becca (Rachael Bella), discuss a legend involving a videotape in which, the moment you finish watching it, you receive a telephone call informing you that you have seven days to live. After Katie informs Becca that she watched it exactly a week ago, things grow quite dire. Enter single mother and news reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts), who is asked by her sister (Lindsay Frost) to investigate the circumstances surrounding daughter Katie's mysterious sudden death. Rachel's research ultimately leads her to the infamous tape in question. When she watches it and, to her horror, receives the cryptic phone call, the countdown to her impending death begins. Unless Rachel can find out where the tape originated and put a stop to the curse, she faces the same fate as her unfortunate niece. The Ring" is a superbly crafted horror film that, rare to form, does not lessen the impact or dumb down its foreign counterpart. Not overly violent and with almost no gore, the unshakable effectiveness it mutters up comes from what is hinted at, but not seen. This tactic works magnificently, since the characters themselves are faced with something that they do not understand. The opening scene, for example, has a setup similar to 1996's "Scream," but instead of ending in a bloodbath, opts for nothing more than a horrific sense of not knowing what to expect. Another sequence involving a crazed horse that gets loose on a barge headed for an island is spectacularly tense and imaginative. WARNING: This is for smart people only, not those who liked films like Scream.
scariest movie ever
The Ring is about a freaky little girl that kills you seven days after you watch her messed up video.This movie is so screwed up that it'll make you go under your covers with a flashlight and make you want your mommy.P.S. you'll have to find the ending out yourself.
