I don't scare easily

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2010)

The Ring disturbed me.
I have never been 'scared' by a movie but every now and then one comes along and gets close, The original 'Cape fear' was one, Fail Safe another. It touches on aspects of psychology and the perception of reality in just the right way. Tho the leads ex hubby is a bit stupid about the distorted photos. I would have started worrying big time after super mart camera scene. The whole distorted photo line is damn excellent. it gave me a shiver. As Brando said...'The horror'
And i too was caught flatfooted with sons comment on Samara. The turn around. Not a victim but a thing of evil. Well done
The ring stands alone for me as an example of how to make a scary movie. Fail Safe was another. But that's my generation.
The fly on the screen... simply wonderful concepts...8/10
