Instant classic in the horror genre

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2005)

The imagery in this movie is what makes it an instant classic in horror. The girl's arm coming over the well. The dark hair covering the girl's face. The hideous faces of the people who die after 7 days of watching the tape. The off-kilter scenes that appear in the tape itself. The symbol of the ring on the television screen and later, in real life. All these visuals are unforgettable, and all are interwoven into a well-acted, well-directed story that is sure to be remembered decades into the future, not unlike how we currently remember classics like The Exorcist and Halloween.
I must warn you though: Before you die, you see "The Ring."
