The Exorcist scared our parents. The Ring scares US.

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2002)

I saw the Exorcist, and though it was a very good movie, it's weak in relation to the book. In fact, it didn't scare me like I thought it would. I saw the Ring, and I was disturbed beyond belief. I still see the image of that little girl in my head.
It seems that the Japanese are really imaginative. In fact, a few of my favorite movies originated in Japan (The Seven Samurai, Akira, and now the Ring). The writer of this story is up in the ranks of Stephen King.
The actors were great, especially since this is the first movie I've seen them all in. That little girl is the creepiest thing in the world.
What I like most about this movie is that it actually scares you. Unlike other supernatural movies (which usually end up as plotless gory bloodbaths), this one has a story, and scares the living feces out of you.
This movie also plays with your mind a little bit, which is always good in a movie like this.
The video sequence was the most disturbing thing in the movie. There's something about black and white freaky images that really engraves them into your mind.
One thing I know. From now on, my entertainment comes from DVDs. I'm not gonna take a chance with a video cassette.
If you have not yet seen this movie, you're in for the scarefest of your life.
