Ah, horror. I love it. Not the slash and gore type, the psychological type. While Im much more likely to enjoy it in written form, Im a true sucker for a good horror film. I even liked What Lies Beneath. So, naturally, I had to...
Pros: Creepy and sometimes surprisingly smart, Naomi Watts Cons: The scare tactics are all infantile and the supporting cast is only sometimes effective
Forgive me, but it's time to be didactic.
Humans tend to respond to new technology in one of two ways as an extension of the divine or as an extension of the supernatural. The former encompasses what folks know as the deus ex...
Pros: Cinematography. The story, to some degree or other. Cons: Acting. Doesn't seem to know what it wants. Gives in to cheap scares.
Gore Verbinskis attempt at remaking Ringu, The Ring, has a lot in common with Shyamalans recent effort Signs. Its much better when its over (in a good way) as opposed to when youre actually...
Pros: Great story, dreamlike filming, wonderful acting, horrifying and mysterious, etc. Cons: None.
When journalist Rachel Keller begins to investigate the mysterious death of her niece and her teenage friends, her sleuthing leads to the discovery of a very disturbing video tape. If rumor is to be believed, those who watch the tape die seven days ...
Pros: Photography, the scare, the story Cons: The nihilistic ending
This is a scary movie. More than a million people were waiting in line to buy this DVD when it was released this month. The cast is not completely obscure, but , as intended, They are not (yet) the flashy Hollywood types that would distract audiences....
Pros: visuals, score, acting, so-so story Cons: loose ends, etc.
Much of Gore Verbinskis The Ring appears to take place in the same anonymous city that was the threatening milieu of bloodshed in David Finchers classic Seven, so much so that I was almost surprised that journalist Rachel...
Pros: Creepy, Well Paced Cons: Plot Confusion, Cheap Scare Tricks
This movie has been out for a week and the theater was still packed Saturday night. I was a little nervous while standing in line to buy tickets and seeing the "few seats left" status flash next to The Ring. I totally hate crowded theaters, but...
Pros: Over all a well put together film, with decent acting, and decent affects. Cons: Story line is a little silly.
I am a couple of days late on my write off submission. This has just been a super hectic week and I am now nearly 7 months pregnant, and it seems that it is taking me twice as long to do just about every thing. So I apologize for being so late. The Hal ...
Pros: Cinematography, visual effects Cons: Story is too far-fetched to be really scary
The Ring is one of those spooky kind of movies that is having a successful run at the box office, thanks to good reviews and word of mouth. It is a lot more far-fetched that The Sixth Sense or The Blair Witch Project, but it is equally as scary. It...
Pros: Good Photography and Score. Cons: Almost everything else.
A deadly video. Teenagers done in! A child's drawing!! Distorted photographs!!! A mad horse!!!! A crazy girl!!!!! An insane mother!!!!!! A religious (?) fanatic!!!!!!! A beauty in danger!!!!!!!!! A small boy sentenced to death!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
Pros: Suspenseful premise, great photography and imagery, strong acting. Cons: It leaves you asking: so what????
The Ring is perfectly timed for those looking to be psychologically ravaged this Halloween by the scarey sights and sounds of horror & terror on screen.
And part of me wants to hail The Ring as the best psychological horror film...
Ive often watched a movie and wondered if I am going to die from watching it but I never assumed that such a thing could really happen. The video in this particular movie has some supernatural power to it so that once viewed the watcher dies ...
Pros: An eerie visual look. Cons: An overwritten screenplay.
I managed to tear that odious Doreen Scrawcrunch's wig from her head, before being hustled off the stage of the Teatro Estrella in Barcelona. I also managed to pen letters to all the leading local newspapers about how she was a wanton hussy and a cheap...
Pros: Watts, some of the visuals, a surprisingly effective ending Cons: Verbinski didn't do his roadwork: plot holes abound
"The Ring", in theory, should be the perfect horror movie for an audience member like me: it offers viscerally scary moments, where I can react with my emotions and my tense body; and it contains a plethora of opportunities for snide comments, where my...
Pros: Nice to look at, not too bloody. Cons: A bore.
It seems all it takes these days to make a popular horror film, is to have a young kid mixed in with the story. Maybe thats why The Ring tried to pass itself off as yet another, movie worthy of a Sixth Sense marketing similarity. But...
Hailed by US Weekly as the scariest movie of the year The Ring is a cinematic thrill ride that will hold you spellbound from the very first shock! Sea...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
