The Ring (2003, DVD)

Rarely does a scary movie come along and actually scare watchers... The Ring was the first movie I've seen in years that actually spooked the audience with more than just momentary loud noises. Rather, The Ring relies on great cinematography and visuals to produce a strange, creepy movie that gets so twisted during its 90 minutes that the audience never has room or time to step back and realize that the plot doesn't allows make sense. In fact, if the Ring were a book, I would venture to guess that it wouldn't have been successful - but as a movie, The Ring works because the acting is compelling (Naomi Watts is convincingly frightened throughout), the plot is confusingly twisted, and the visuals and filming are superbly done.

the only thing i didnt like was the time i had to wait, it was a little much everything else was perfect!

I bought it because I couldn't find it in the stores anymore and I was looking also to buy it in new condition, and I was happy to find it not just in new condition but also in a very reasonable price.

The Ring is a wonderful remake of Ringu! Naomi Watts is a wonderful actress, and is obviously frightened throught the movie. The story is creative and original, and it scared me half to death! The ending of the movie is superb, and very unexpected! Gore did an amazing job directing this movie! I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a REALLY scary movie, but doesn't want tons of blood and gore involved.

I ordered this movie about three weeks ago on DVD and it was in excellent condition. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

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!!
