Enjoyable, scary little film

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2002)

Most American remakes of films that originated elsewhere are inferior to the
originals (THE VANISHING being one example). I went into this film not
expecting to like it but I found that it had won me over by the end. First of all, the film sustains a creepy atmosphere for the entire duration of it's running time. The cinematography is some of the gloomiest I have ever seen. You feel that
the characters are in danger pretty much every minute because of the excellent lensing. I won't be able to say much else about the film for fear of giving
something away but if you want to see a well-made, scary little film this
Halloween, look no further than this American remake of THE RING. I really
enjoyed it a lot and the pacing of the film is very good considering how thick the plot is.
