Scary But Fair

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2004)

MIGHT INCLUDE SPOILERS It's been a long time since a decent horror film with this style of plot has been created. Most horror movies today try to scare you with special effects or idiots with chainsaws. The Ring is what horror movies should be: a taut psychological thriller that builds to a fevered pitch and then lets loose with both guns. However, the movie does not know where to end. After the discovery of the well, the movie should have ended there. In fact, it might just as be best to stop the movie at the shower scene ten minutes from the end because the rest makes no scene and in fact leaves more questions. For one, not all the images in the video are explained and two, any boy who sleeps with his mother is going to grow up messed up. In all, the movie is worth a watch toward a point and then after that, you start wondering, "What the heck was that ending about?"
