One Videotape I Want To Own!!!

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2002)

I have to say that I am a big fan of horror movies and when such a movie comes along that is done right, it gets really exciting. THE RING is a great thriller that really gets your blood pumping. Each scene is one suspense master after the next.
A great thing about this movie is the fact that there is actually some thought in it. The plot advances as the film goes, which is usually unlikely in horror movies and to my surprise this film did not base its scares on gore (for the most part).
I have heard some people compare this movie to this years earlier release FEARDOTCOM. This movie is nothing like FEARDOTCOM and to compare it to such a horribly made movie is an insult. THE RING takes the audience and while proving to be an effectively scary movie, it really keeps you interested from start to finish.
My only complaint about this movie is that there are a lot of questions that were never answered, or things that just did not make sense. The movie ends with a great compilation scene however, you realize that there are a lot of holes that did not fill. Although, it did make for great discussion on the way home.
This movie will definitely be on my to buy list and is quite worth the price of admission
A great horror flick but because of the unanswered points to the movie I give THE RING a 8/10
