Review of The Ring (2002) by Davenbettridge — 09 Jul 2011
I had the chance to watch The Ring again over the weekend as I hadnt seen the movie for several years and had fond memories of it when it first came out. The movie holds up fairly well despite that the flickering creepy visuals which on release seemed fresh and original are now very common place in film and television.
The tone and the creepy atmosphere are still what the movie does well, its very relieving to watch a horror movie that doesnt rely on violence and gore to get its message out. The acting and characters do their job and the plot holes arent big enough to be too distracting.
Overall I would still consider The Ring one of my favourite modern horror movies, still being creepy and intriguing, despite perhaps not standing out of the crowd as much as it once did.
