Overrated----3/10

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2002)

The Ring is based on an earlier Japanese that was probably better than this. It follows a woman who comes into the possession of a tape that's viewers die after seven days. She then goes on a quest to find the origins of the tape before it kills again. Oooh. The storyline sounds like a bad TV movie on the Sci-Fi channel The American version is full of loud noises at the beginning of a scene that is supposed to be scary. There are parts where a bunch of people in the audience jump and i didn't even blink. There were some creepy shots and some intentional and unintentional funny moments which saved it from being a total loss. Still, i would recommend Red Dragon instead. 3/10
