Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): the ring is probably one of the creepiest movies i 've seen in years .
but then again , i 've always had this phobia of asian born horror films .
i remember when i was a kid i was scared as hell with those green faced , long - haired floating ghosts donning their white gowns .
euuugh .
the ring really brings back those memories and its grips me long after the movie has ended .
unlike the horror films coming from the west , i 'm pretty much used to the gore and visual effects , so much so , they become rather bland nowadays .
there 's really no scary movie from the west for a long time .
if you have something in mind , please tell me .
this japanese flick is supposed to be based upon stories written by ` the stephen king of japan ' , which is also ( i heard ) televised over the air in japan .
the film revolves around a mysterious videotape which will bring death for sure to the person who watches it , one week prior to viewing .
a journalist and her husband , stupid enough , tests the so call ` urban legend ' and ends up having a week before she meets her doom .
she and her husband then goes on a search for the origin of the videocassette , to get to the root of the whole curse with the hopes of freeing themselves .
the ring plays on the senses like no other horror film today . visual subtlety , minimal music and an intriguing plot puts the audience within an aura of suspense throughout the entire film .
very well done indeed , especially for a film that does not have a single trace of violence and gore .
now , that 's something budding horror film - maker wannabes should consider looking into .
just an idea of how visually powerful the film is , it is in japanese and subtitled in chinese ; both of which , i ca n't understand at all ( ok , i had a friend who gave me a gist prior to watching , but he revealed very little ! ) .
the twists in the plot , leading to an unforgettable climax
( will definitely leave an impression on the audience ) will have you at the edge of your seat .
Output (English): P
