See the original

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2002)

I had already read the reviews of the movie Ring on the internet as well as the reviews from the original version of this film, Ringu. So in a sense I knew what to expect especially from a remake produced by Hollywood. But I have to admit that the film did creep me out in some ways. Not enough for me to lose sleep on or to claim that it is the best horror film ever made. I guess what happened is that I had had higher hopes for it based off of reading the reviews about the original one. Needless to say that after viewing the film, I am dying to get my hands on the original. I was somewhat confused with the ending yet I would still watch it again and again. I really enjoyed the parts of being able to watch the video over and over. The video had disturbing and twisted scenes with an errie soundtrack that made your hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The horse scene was brillant and the actor who played as the son to the main character was simply wonderful. He was just as good if not better than the little boy who played in "Sixth Sense". I would love to commit more on the movie but I'm afraid that it would ruin it for others who have not yet witness it. But I can say that before you enter that theater, you better make sure that you have all the goodies you need and that you won't need to use the restroom because you won't want to miss one second of it!!
