The Ring is a Big Zero

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2007)

I love horrors, I watch as many as I can see, I read horror books, I study horror and its mythology. So of course I went to see this when it cam out with some friends. Man was I disappointed, I wanted a refund.. and still do. The story line was just pointless and well stupid. It didn't draw you in, there were no surprises. I was amazed at how many people freaked when the girl came out of the TV, it wasn't scary at all. Its not even a new idea.. ever hear of Poltergeist? I wasn't scarred and I wasn't entertained. What makes a horror great? There are two ways to make a horror strong- either make it on something that could truly happen or something that is just full of suspense and tension. This movie had none of it- no reality, no suspense, no surprise. Just a video a women and her child, oh and of course the "hero" boyfriend. The start really wasn't that bad, but it got worse and worse. The end was just idiotic. I would stay away from this film if you are looking for a scare, that is unless you scare easier than a 1 year old.
