Ring around my soul-sy

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2006)

I never saw this in the theatre because I was a fan of the Koji novel and thought the Ringu series kind of was...ummm...lacking. On a recent Saturday night, bored in my flat, I decided to give her a look. And what a sexy beast this film is. The script is a mess, but the visual style of gore verbinski has made me a believer of anything he directs. The horse/boat scene alone is worth ten pounds...some sequences freaked my knickers and I wondered how this got a 15 certificate over here. Overall, this is an outstanding visual feast. The acting is top notch and Brian Cox is a delight to see in most anything. Naomi is as beautiful as ever and Martin Henderson seems to be a decent up and coming actor as long as he stays away from dreck like that motorcycle flick he did a couple years ago.
