The Horror Genre is still alive and kicking!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2002)

At the current point in time of todays society and movies, one might say the horror genre has taken a turn for the worse and is a dieing breed. I would agree with you up until tonight when I went to see "The Ring" with my friends; one word, wow! This movie was amazing from start to finish. I don't remember the last time I left a movie complex so pleased. The only complaint I have heard about this movie, is the fact that is a remake. To that, I say who gives a damn. This movie is saving the horror genre and if more directors and people in Hollywood followed this film as a model, we would have much more to look forward too. This was a movie that tied up all ends of the story perfectly without leaving you wondering how is that possible and what happened to that person, etc. The ending, is just so amazing and well done, you really need to see it instead of me trying to explain it here (one of the scariest parts of the movie too). With all those dumb cheap teen horror flicks out there, its good to see there are some people who can still make great movies that will make you THINK and who don't have to lower themselves to cheap thrills with lots of blood or killings. If you want to see an amazing (rare) scary movie with a great twisted ending and story, "The Ring" is for you. I promise you will love it.
