The Ring

Amber Tamblyn, Brian Cox, Chris Cooper, Daveigh Chase, David Dorfman

It sounded like just another urban legend--videotape filled with nightmarish images, leading to a phone call foretelling the viewer's death in exactly seven days. As a newspaper reporter, Rachel Kelle...( read more  read more... )r was naturally skeptical of the story, until four teenagers all met with mysterious deaths exactly one week after watching just such a tape. Allowing her investigative curiosity to get the better of her, Rachel tracks down the video... and watches it. Now she has just seven days to unravel the mystery of the "Ring."

    "Before you die, you see the ring"

    A young journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it.

    REVIEW

    There's nothing scary about vamp...( read more)ires. Or werewolves. (I've never seen one, so why be scared?) There's nothing scary about blood and gore. (I've seen plenty, so why be scared?) What's scary is the situation--when your TV turns itself on and you see something that makes you wet your pants. That's scary.

    And that's "The Ring". You could call "The Ring" a ghost story, and that would be fair, but instead of starting out showing us the ghost, the movie builds up suspense by first showing us what the ghost is capable of, then why the ghost is so angry. After we understand this, then and only then do we see the ghost. This creates an understanding in our mind of what this thing is going to do. So when we see it, we scare ourselves.

    You see, the scariest stories involve the mundane (like televisions and video tapes). They take the things we see everyday and ask, "What if..." This bypasses our rationality because we accept the plausibility of the scenario. And when a person can't think rationally, it doesn't take much to terrify them.

    Psychology 101. It'd be nice if more filmmakers would take a refresher course.

    Not bad. Not great, but not bad either.

    Creepy, scary and unnerving. After seeing it, I made others see it too... just in case.

    It is PG rated so no gore or sex or any kind of graphic violence is shown. It is all in your imagination... which may be worse (or better, depending on your tastes).
