Fantastically haunting, tragic, horrifying, the list goes on and on...

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2006)

To be honest, this is the first horror movie I've ever seen in my life. But I adored it. I watched The Ring with my friend yesterday, and was shocked at the beautifully horrible sadness and despair to the whole thing. Samara's history is heart wrenching and horrible, and so surreal. Even though the story is based around something as modern as television, it has an old Gothic feel. One scene I quite liked was Samara as a pale, yet living child, about to be thrown in the well by her troubled mother, singing: "Here we go, world is spinning. When it stops, it's just the beginning. Sun comes up, we all laugh. Sun goes down, we all die..." And then she's a lank, slimy creature clotted with blood, killing everybody who is forced to know of her. See this movie at all costs, and for Gods sake, buy a DVD player. :)
