Review of The Ring (2002) by Del H — 27 Aug 2015
Often in horror filmmaking, the specter of the unknown is what keeps the film alive. Therefore in many horror movies, it's the premise and the exposition that are enthralling, but the climax and the conclusion are left relatively dull.
This one is a classic case of that syndrome. It's the idea surrounding a videotape that kills you when you watch it and the suspense of not knowing why that keeps the film going, but after we know why, we aren't really as frightened by the whole thing and the movie loses impact.
