The Ring

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2005)

The first time I saw this I was terrified out of my wit and thought to myself that I will not watch again until after a week, just like the film, really, I was that freaked out. But now I can see that at least three quarters of it is now only creepy. Basically investigating a death of a girl, who was also a friend, reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) goes to a motel ranch that the girl stayed at last. The owner says the TV reception in each room is no good, so they have videos, and that is where she sees the one video with no case or label. After watching this video she is phoned by an unknown caller, saying "seven days". She now has that much time to find out what she can about the video, does it kill people after a week? Also starring Martin Henderson as Noah Clay, David Dorfman as Aidan Keller and Brian Cox as Richard Morgan. A good attempt by director Gore Versbinski (Mousehunt, Pirates of the Caribbean) to recreate a Japanese horror. I need to see the original. Worth watching!
