Review of The Ring (2002) by Michael W — 19 Aug 2016
The Ring is disturbing, scary, and intriguing. The Ring starts out strong and revolves around a mystery. Why did these teenagers die, and in a way which looks like the victims where hit by a nuclear blast! The Ring's story is about an old V H S video tape which has a virus effect on whoever views the disturbing images.
The video is surreal, nihilistic, and just plain EVIL! Being marked with a death virus which is slowly killing the protagonists becomes waiting agonizing torture for the viewer. Then, The Ring turns into another stupid let's find out what the ghost/demon wants and fix the mystery etc.
Or so I thought! I rolled my eyes, and thought, not another predictable horror film ending. But! Suddenly, I was shocked with the ending/twist! 5 stars!
