Really Scary!!

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2003)

After watching countless horror movies (13th Ghost, The Haunting, etc.), it's been a long, long time since I've experienced the gasping and hair-raising sensation from watching the Ring. The director did an excellent job at elevating those tense moments without giving it all away. I even rented Ringu to see how they compare, and not to sound like a "homer", the U.S. version was much better. I felt it was more intense. This movie is so good, I have to list in as one of the top 10 horror movies I have seen:
1. The Excorcist 2. The Omen 3. Night Of The Living Dead (1968) 4. The Sixth Sense 5. The Ring 6. The Blair Witch Project 7. The Thing (1982) 8. Poltergeist 9. A Nightmare On Elm Street 10. The Shining
Let's just hope that unlike the Japanese version, this doesn't lead to a slew of sequels.
