Vaguely interesting horror premise, but script flops badly.

Rating: 3/10 (16 October 2002)

`The Ring' is an eerie supernatural thriller that is just in time for Halloween. It raises a scary barrage of questions that had me on the edge of my seat through most of the movie. The ending floored me -- but not in a good way. This is another one of those films that takes your expectations to the heights and then drops you with a sudden thud at the end. In the final analysis, the movie never explains nearly enough to satisfy. It doesn't even try. I am weary of movies without an adequate conclusion. What's left, after the credits roll, is an audience that feels cheated.
