A terrifying masterpiece of modern horror

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2005)

To date, The Ring is the only film that has truly frightened me. No, it didn't frighten me, it mortified me. It petrified me. It almost made me walk out of the theater I was so scared. I haven't seen the original, but if they can make a REMAKE of a horror cult classic this good, then it must be quite the film.
So basically the film is about a video tape that kills people a week after they see it. Okay, simple enough. I'm sure to many it sounds like B-horror trash, but it is horror perfection. Literally the first half hour alone had me covering my eyes I was so scared. This film is done so perfectly...the acting, the score, and don't even get me started on the images. Some of those have stuck with me to this day. The finale is great, except for that it lead the The Ring Two. Don't even get me started on the crappiness that is The Ring Two...you can read my review.
Anyway, The Ring proved to be one of the scariest movies in decades, and I don't think I will ever see another film like it. DO NOT MISS IT.
