A great suspense movie!

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2005)

The Ring was a cleverly made movie. The story is about a videotape that kills you in 7 days after you watch it. One of the things I like about this movie is that it is not extremely violent. It does not contain sex scenes, extreme gore, and I can't remember any cursing. Most horror movies contain all these things when it is completely unnecessary. I am not Mr. Ultra Conservative, but I find a movie more creative when you don't have to fill it up with such things. I watched this movie with a friend on a big screen TV in DTS. There were definitely several scenes that made me jump and that hasn't happened in a LONG time! The only reason I docked the movie 2 stars was because it was a bit slow and there wasn't quite enough "jumpy" scenes. Aside from that, a great movie to watch alone or with a good friend in the dark. I hope the sequel is just as good or better!
