The Best Horror Movie in 20 Years

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2003)

The only thing that could be said against this film is the hype it has generated probably led to some being disappointed. Still, the Ring is easily one of the top 10 horror movies of all time.
People expecting the second coming of the Exorcist may have been aiming too high, however The Ring is easily the scariest, most well put together horror movies since the original Halloween back in 1980.
The terror starts from the first scene, and the film never relents during the race to discover the secret behind the haunting deaths of those who watched a mysterious tape.
I would advise against trying to rationalize the movie. "Where did the tape come from?" and similar questions that can't be answered and really don't need to be addressed. You have to take some things at face value with horror movies because by definition they're not always going to be put together in a nice, neat package.
