Review of The Ring (2002) by Filipeneto — 12 Feb 2018
This film tells the story of Rachel, one journalist and single mother who investigates the death of several teenagers who saw the same videotape. According to legend, the video tape kills those who watch it in seven days. During the investigation, however, Rachel will eventually endanger herself and also the people she loves.
Directed by Gore Verbinski, this film is perhaps one of the most famous and interesting psychological horror films of the recent years. The cast is led by Naomi Whats, Martin Henderson and David Dorfman, in the role of Rachel, her ex-boyfriend Noah and their son Aidan, a child who has an intelligence higher than normal for his age. Naomi Whats deserves a certain prominence, having got here one of the most memorable performances of her career to date.
Adapting for the screen a novel by Koji Suzuki, this film has a very interesting soundtrack, which further deepens the suspense and expectation, that are just right for lovers of this refined kind of terror. A reference movie and worthy of congratulations.
