The real horror is in the unknown
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The Ring is a surprisingly original horror flick that doesn't rely on slashing, gore, or shock-shots to chill your spine and have you holding your breath just waiting for the grindingly and deliberately slow build-up to reach climax. So many horror flicks these days are predictably timed: happy, happy, nervous, foreboding, SHOCK SHOT, then happy, happy.... and on it goes.
Not so with The Ring. This movie draws you in, revealing it's horrible rotted underbelly one small bit at a time. It is HUGELY intense, but you do have to be paying attention or you might miss key elements that are oh-so-subtle at first.
Just remember ... it ain't over 'till the credits roll. If you can handle the tauntingly paced build-up to sheer horror, The Ring will instantly become one of your all-time favorites. This is absolutely, positively NOT a movie for the youngsters!!
