Scared the HELL outa' me!

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2008)

There are thrillers that vacate your thoughts as soon as the credits roll and then there are thrillers that sink deep into your subconscious and remain with you for days, weeks, months... dare I say years after the credits roll. "The Ring" takes its rightful throne in the latter category.
When her niece dies a gruesome death, journalist Rachael Kellers (Naomi Watts) investigation leads her to a mysterious videotape. As soon as she views the tape the phone rings and a malevolent child's voice warns "seven days". When she rings her old boyfriend into watching the tape and their young son decides to have a peek too, thus begins their desperate search for the truth.
"The Ring" scared me. It scared me for weeks. I unashamedly admit that I slept with the light on and moved the TV out of my bedroom. I have one word for you. Samara.
