Suspense

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2003)

The Ring is a remake of a Japanese movie called Ringu which I haven't seen. I guess that is a good thing because now I don't know what parts were better in Ringu (or not better at all) so I could enjoy this movie totally.
Sometimes may be the story goes a little too far but that didn't bother me. It was pretty clever and most of all it was very thrilling and full of suspense. The movie really keeps you on the edge of your seat and Naomi Watts is (as we already could see in Mulholland Dr.) a great actress. She is the perfect heroine in this movie.
With good direction, good cinematography, good actors including a great lead actress and music that adds something to the tension Hollywood can make good horror movies.
