Scary.

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2009)

The Ring is pretty much the scariest movie I've ever seen. This movie is so scary all the way through. It is the perfect movie to watch if you really want to be freaked out. I saw it twice once when I was about 11 and once at 16. I was terrified after the first viewing for weeks. I just recently saw it with some friends. My best friend was in my same boat. He saw it at the same age. We both had trouble going to sleep afterwords. Although I liked the movie during both viewings I enjoyed it more the second time. Great acting from Naomii Watts (female protagonist; Rachel) and David Dorfman (her son; Aiden). The Ring starts off with a very dismal atmosphere, and it increases as the movie goes on. This is what makes it so scary. It has a continual mood of doom, quite unlike any other movie I've ever seen. Samara Morgan (antagonist) is absolutely horrifying. She scared me very much during both viewings. But what scared me the most was....just the face of her first victim. Overall, this is a very effectively scary movie, it's almost too effective. Some people think it's boring, but I don't really understand that. I think it is gripping, just the way it counts down the seven days. With each passing day the suspense increases. It's like this certain doom destined to happen. One which is hard to turn away from. Although this isn't a pleasant movie to watch, it is a movie to watch if you're looking for a really good scare. No other movie has scared me in the way the The Ring has.
