A disturbing videotape appears to hold the power of life and death over those who view it in this offbeat thriller. A strange videotape begins making the rounds in a town in the Pacific Northwest; it is full of bizarre and haunting images, and after watching it, many viewers receive a telephone call in which they are warned they will die in seven days. A handful of teenagers who watched the tape while spending a weekend at a cabin in the mountains scoff. Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts), the aunt of one of the ill-fated teens, is a journalist who has decided to investigate the matter and travels West with her young son, Aidan (David Dorfman), a troubled child who has been drawing pictures of strange and ominous visions. Rachel managed to find the cabin in the woods and watches the video herself;. Afterward, she receives the same phone call, and realizes she must solve the puzzle of the video. Rachel turns to her ex, Noah (Martin Henderson)to dig deeper into the mystery. The Ring was adapted from a 1996 Japanese film by Hideo Nakata. There's plenty of supporting thriller, narrative and character to make this relatively understated film really creep up on you and linger in the mind, unpredictable, seriously tense and seriously frightening, though without quite reaching a layer of thematic depth to qualify a place in the hall of horror greats.Read full review
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.
Rachel Keller is a journalist who decides to go undercover on the mysterious death of her niece and her three friends, who seemed to all died on the same day at the same time- 10:00 PM. After being told that her niece was found in a closet with a horrifying look on her face, she searches through her room and finds some pictures, pictures of the cabin where her niece and her friends had stayed a week before the deaths. Rachel finds the cabin and finds an unknown video there. She decides to watch it there, and now has only a limited time to live. She and her divorced husband, Noah, research about the video and find facts about Anna Morgan and her daughter, Samara Morgan, the maker of this video. With only a week left, Rachel and Noah discover the unknown secrets of the life of Samara Morgan, and, hopefully for them, a way to break the curse.. One great movie. Strange but Great..Dont want to say to much incase someone has not seen it yet...a must to see and own.... (Mrs. puman)Read full review
My kids were scared. It isn't bloody, doesn't have nudity, or really anything you have to explain other than being really freaky. It is a great scary movie.
