The Ring is an eerie story about a cursed video tape that kills whoever watches it in exactly seven days. I have heard from my friends that this was a very scary movie. I thought to myself after hearing this, "How scary could something be that could never happen ever?" One Missed Call was laughable. One Missed Call was more of a comedy than a horror. But, The Ring was the first movie that contained many things that could not happen, but had an interesting story line from the beginning, and had you wanting more at the end. Be aware that the following sentences contain, should I call it, warnings for the squeamish, not spoilers. I am not giving away important plot points.
I watched this film with a friend of mine on YouTube in parts. Within the first ten minutes we couldn't stop watching it. There was always some question we were waiting for the answer to. For those parents who are wondering if this is appropriate for their child, I would say 11 and up is fine. If you have heard about the tape, you do see what is on the tape throughout the film, and parts of it throughout the rest of the film. On the tape are a random series of disturbing events, which are really disturbing. This movie IS meant to ACTUALLY SCARE the viewer/viewers. SQUEAMISH: If disturbing images, strange noises/songs, disturbing facial expressions, and death bother you, do not see this film!
All in all, I give this film 9 out of 10 stars. The fact that this film isn't explained well enough cost this film that 1 other star. One last warning: This film does have parts that will make you jump, just to warn you. This is a great film and I would recommend it!
