Naomi Watts, Brian Cox
"It was alright, the cast certainly helped this movie. I was kind of late in watching this, if I watched this like 3 years ago, I would've loved it. But now, it seems like these kinds of movies come out in theaters every other week. "
- projecthurley, gave it a 4/5
"This movie scared the bejesus out of me... Special effects are awesome! Downfall - didn't like the child actor in this movie - not believable - too serious, IMHO."
- AvidReader, gave it a 5/5
With its disturbing images and a few good shocks, The Ring is the kind of frightfest you'll watch to set a chilling mood or spook your susceptible friends, but when you try to sort it out, this well-mounted American remake (of the 1998 Japanese hit Ringu, based on Koji Suzuki's popular novel) becomes a batch of incoherent parts. The negligible plot follows a Seattle reporter (Naomi Watts) as she investigates the death of her niece, the victim of a mysterious videotape that, according to urban legend, causes the viewer's death seven days later. (Fear Dot Com borrowed the same idea while avoiding this film's lofty pretensions.) The countdown structure follows the reporter, her son, and her estranged boyfriend into deepening layers of terror--all quite effective until the movie attempts to explain itself. At that you're better off shutting down your brain and letting the creepy visuals take over. --Jeff Shannon - Amazon.com
