The Ring
3.5/5 stars
The Ring is another horror movie, but one that succeeds more than others have for me. The premise is that once someone watches a certain video tape, that person dies seven days later. When a journalist’s (Rachel Keller, played by Naomi Watts) niece dies, her sister asks her to investigate. Naturally, Keller sees the video, and receives a call within a few minutes telling her she has seven days. Keller must frantically search for the origin of the tape, and a way out of death, before her seven days are up.
I think that in a dark theater with a big screen, I might have been drawn in completely to this film. However, I’m not generally drawn in to horror films, though I enjoy watching the more intelligent ones (read: not the Freddy or Jason films). Overall a good, enjoyable movie.
