Satisfying horror.

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2003)

I saw "The Ring" last night. It's been a long time since I saw something so utterly horrifying. I enjoyed the movie to the last minute. There are no demons or goblins, no gore, no loud, ear-splitting noises, and no aliens either. Yet this movie manages to rivet your attention, holds you spell-bound till you feel the chill in your veins.
Any good horror movie should leave some of the details to be figured out by the viewers. This move does.
I like horror movies, and this must rank all the way up there with "The Exorcist". The cinematography is excellent. The aerial views of Rachel's car speeding along the lonely road are breathtakingly beautiful. The whole movie has cyan tinge to it, and the images are haunting. The director has not spent much time on irrelevant details, and must be congratulated for it.

I'd give this movie an 8/10.
