I thought it was an average movie. Nice little twist at the end.. you are used to an happy ending and although we got the happyish ending u knew someone else was going to die. The next person who watched the vid.....
At first I thought it would be a bad Videodrone rip off or something.
The ending was so expected. And dumb. I told my girlfriend it would end like that before half way through the movie. hehe
I have collected horror movies since I was a kid, and although I couldnt guess the story line, because of the Mother, Daughter relationship and some of the images were hard to figure out, but for the most part, I knew when the 'jumps' were, and they got my girl everytime, but it ws somewhat easy to anticipate things...for the most part, I thought the shots, and the effects are awesome, its even somewhat artsy with the film and stuff.
Overall, it was good. I buy horror DVDs every week, the girl picked this one out.
i watched it two days after watching Fear Dot Com though so i was biased a bit.
another "don't view this thing or you'll die" with a scary little kid in it.
i agree with darren, the nonhappy ending made it even better in my opinion.
the thing that fucked me up most about that movie were the screams from the horse as it was drowning, raised horses all my life and that was almost too much for me.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Name a good horror movie, interested in comparing.
horror is something they can't acheive in movies .. have yet to see one that left me anything but bored .. scream did a better job of entertaining me . and we all know that sucked too .
they all bore me
.. that movie had potential .. just didnt acheive it .. I mean in a horror movie you gotta show the dead people , at least some gore and the ring avoided it .
showed the back of the chair like some PG bullshit .
overall i was dissapointed , thought overall it sucked ass.

maybe to you, but plenty of people can be left for days, sometimes weeks haunted by the images seen in some movies.
This is only opinion, you cant state horror movies arent scary..
hahah they scare plenty of people, just not you.
I hear ya . when I was younger my Dad went on this kick and tried to scare us .. rented all these horror flicks but never even got a scare outta any of me or my brothers .. yet he was having nightmares.

Originally posted by Jamdin The Ring was okay but not really scary until the last 15 minutes. Low-grade horror movies from the seventies scared me more.
Originally posted by xxxdesign-net mmmh... didnt really get the end... what the girl and her son were doing at the end in the editing room?
Why, the blonde girl didnt actually died, and the little boy for that matter?
Wasnt really scary (even if I've whatch it alone, after midnight, and in the dark...) But was a good suspense....
It wasnt that bloody hard to figure out. Basically the girl that died wants to get the message out so by copying the tape you save your own life. The blonde women had done this so at the end the boy did it as well to save his life....

I know most people here think it was boring and not scary at all. Well, I am not afraid to say that this movie affected me a lot. It scared the living shit outta me. I had problems sleeping for the next couple of days. And trust me, I watched millions of horror movies.
Just the videotape gave me nightmares.. hahaha
For the first time in my life, a horror movie did a good job of scaring me. The story and suspense was also excellent. It's not a masterpiece, but for the genre, it was highly effective.
I watched the japanese version and I think the american version is better.. Well, that' because I saw the american version 1st.
I can imagine that those who watched ringu, did not have the same impact with the american version or it was not as good. Simply because they knew the ending.
Note: You can't compare this movie to a gore or teen slasher movie like "Scream". This is a horror/psychological movie. Like I said, The Ring is not a masterpiece, but it's highly effective for the genre. It's not really BOO! scary and it's not fright-by-volume. It's the kind of film that burrows itself under your skin and copies images into your mind that will stay there.

Jep the entity is nice.... I was spooked to hell and back when I first saw it (14-15 years old...)! Still is a nice movie!
I have a fear of clowns, so Stephen Kings 'It' is a movie i would consider the scariest of all times.
I cant even sit through a few minutes of it without turning it off.
fucking clown.

no, that was the movie "entity" (1982)....
the documentary on TLC a year ago I think (nothing to do with the movie) follow the lives of people dealing with the entity... Thats some real scary shit...

You say that's bad and now you are telling me to believe in a real ghost story?!?!
Listen, just because The Ring scared me doesn't mean I think it can happen. I don't believe in ghost stories (even on TLC, well, especially on TLC)
You say that's bad and now you are telling me to believe in a real ghost story?!?!
mmmh ... ok, you dont believe in ghosts but was scared after viewing the movie "the ring"?
that doesnt make sens....
its like not believing in monsters but being scared and looking under your bed to see if there's a monster...!??
The story was very well done... all the foreshadowing and relating events to lines that we hear previously... it made for a good mystery.
The horror parts were few and far between, but done rather effectively in my opinion. The girl coming out of the tv was excellantly done, especially by the guy's reaction. He sold it really well, instead of just standing there going "oh my god"... I hate that.
The horse falling off the ferry... damn, that looked way to real!!!
Anyway.. the story was original. That's for damn sure. That's a huge bonus in my opinion.
It scared the hell outta my GF, and had her cuddled up to me all night (and also kept her awake for a good portion of the night too), so it had the desired effect.
It certainly wasn't a bad film... but I can see how it might have not lived up to some of your expectations... and when a film doesn't live up to expectations, it's easy to dismiss as a bad film.
My question is, if you hadn't heard how great it was from everyone before you watched it.. would you still think it was crap after?

It does make sense, when you watch a movie, you know it's about special effects. That does not mean you won't be affected because you know it's fake. Unless you are a brick wall.
The movie is a place where you escape reality. And I had a nice movie experience with that one. Look, I did not expect to see samara coming out of my TV after watching it.
Also, just because you did not like the movie, that does not mean it sucked. You did not like it, point.
Fear dot com, that, is a movie that really sucked.
after i watched the movie with my girl, i was telling her about the prank a guy pulled on his girlfried (it was posted here i think).. he made his friend call them and scare his girlfriend.. anyway, i was in the middle of telling that story to her right after the movie and the phone rang.. it was after midnight and i was so fucking scared.. i was glad i had caller ID so i was able to calm down before picking it up..
