Review of The Ring (2002) by Adur — 10 Apr 2011

First of all I am not a big fan of horror or shock movies, though I'll check one out now and then. I didn't know what to expect with this flick, but it ended up being the first film since the exorcist that had me feeling a steady chill of creepiness coursing through my body the whole time. There were a few "gotcha" shock moments, but they didn't hit that hard. The strength of the film is it's mood/aura. I have to knock a few points off though because of some minor plot holes and some things not being explained/fleshed out in a way that would have been proper and satisfying for this movie.

I also don't get what it was about the TV scene that stuck with so many people. The whole scene in the well is the one I'll never forget. Just gave me such an ultra creepy feeling.

Oh and one last note - I really want to impregnate Naomi Watts.
