Got what I expected....not a very good film...

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2003)

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
Well one thing I did expect from this film, was for it to be scary. This film is NOT AT ALL SCARY! I didn't expect much from The Ring, and I didn't get much. I still want to know how the boy is psychic...??? The lead actress was not very good, neither was her boyfriend. I expect the boy to be around, he was convincing, although no one knows how/why he's psychic. One thing I really liked was the video. Whoever put that together has to be really sick in the head, that was VERY engaging, although it raises so many more questions. For example, the girl was left up in the barn with a TV. How does her spirit connect to a video cassette? Who made it?
For what it tried to be, The Ring is tolerable, I didn't HATE the movie afterwards. There are just too many plot holes for it to be taken really seriously. I'm interested in watching the original Japanese version though. ** stars out of **** .
