excellent!!

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2003)

This film is so creepy and well-crafted. I was really surprised at how scary this movie actually was. The scene at the end had me and my friends (I might note, one of them franticly left during this scene, saying they had to "go to the toilet". Yeah, right) jumping out of our seats. It was that spooky and the jump tactic worked really well on me, my friends and the whole audience. Naomi Watts does really well, expressing all sorts of emotions such as dread, strength, vulnerability and so on. The music was really eerie, contrasting perfectly with the film's bleak, often surreal imagery. Overall, "The Ring" is the most effective horror film for quite some time, and that little girl is truly the most freakiest devil-disguised-as-a-child since Regan in "The Exorcist" Two thumbs up!!
