A Well Made Film

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2019)

I used to not care too much for The Ring, but after recently giving it another shot, I happen to enjoy this film. I don't think it is as incredibly scary as people made it out to be, but it has solid elements and moments to it and I find it more creepy than scary.
The Ring is about a cursed video tape that kills people 7 days after watching it. Four teenagers have died from it, which makes a newspaper reporter, Rachel (Naomi Watts) watch the tape and she is given 7 days. She now has to find clues to put an end to this and try to survive from being killed.
I enjoyed The Ring. I felt it ran in a good pace for close to 2 hours. Nothing really dragged on for too long or anything. The story and concept to it seemed to be pretty interesting to where makes you want to keep watching it to see what is in store for you next.
The acting was also pretty good. I felt Naomi Watts was great as the main character and had a pretty clear personality and was a rather smart character as well. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.
The film also does a solid job at being creepy and ominous. Again, I wouldn't say it's full-blown scary, but it's the kind of film that does a good job at giving you goosebumps.
Overall, The Ring is a creepy, yet entertaining film to watch.
