The best horror movie i've seen in ages!

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2003)

Man, this is so much better than the lame Original. When I saw "Ringu" I was heavily disapointed and wrote about it here. In my post I doubted that the Hollywood remake (that was still in production then) would be any better. I was wrong. "The Ring" is spooky, spooky, spooky! Nice additions to the story have been made as well as really effective shock scenes. There are beautiful haunting pictures that teach movies like "Feardotcom" what "atmosphere" means. I can't remember when I last saw a remake that was so far superior to the original. If only I had seen the remake first. However, although I knew how the story would end I was still thrilled until the very end. A great, great horror movie. Applause!
