A real "Scary Movie"

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2002)

The copycatism in Hollywood really aggravates me. I don't know who ripped off who, but the premise of this movie is almost identical to the recently released Feardot.com. The difference is that "The Ring" uses a videotape as the vehicle of retribution for the unhappy ghost whereas "Feardot.com uses a website. They similarities even extend to the same bloody noses that the unfortunate victims receive after having viewed each.
However, I found "The Ring" scarier, more intense, and thought provoking than "Feardot.com". The ending of "The Ring" actually gave me some chills even though I thought that the reason given for what finally happens to the main characters pretty lame.
