Amazon.com:
With its disturbing images and a few good shocks, The Ring is the kind of frightfest you'll watch to set a chilling mood or spook your susceptible friends, but when you try to sort it out, this well-mounted American remake (of the 1998 Japanese hit Ringu, based on Koji Suzuki's popular novel) becomes a batch of incoherent parts. The negligible plot follows a Seattle reporter (Naomi Watts) as she investigates the death of her niece, the victim of a mysterious videotape that, according to urban legend, causes the viewer's death seven days later. (Fear Dot Com borrowed the same idea while avoiding this film's lofty pretensions.) The countdown structure follows the reporter, her son, and her estranged boyfriend into deepening layers of terror--all quite effective until the movie attempts to explain itself. At that you're better off shutting down your brain and letting the creepy visuals take over. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - OOOOOver-hyped...
Wow...thought this was going to be MUCH better than it was...with so many critics putting this and its Japanese counterpart-Ringu-on their top 10 or 50 or whatever scariest films I thought this would be a classic...nope...certainly not...while there are some well done moments that build suspense, the story itself is such a mishmash of different ideas you really don't care--and the twist at the end?? That the main character went through all this stuff trying to help out a girl ghost who is actually ... Read More
Rating:  - It's all about atmoshpere
Like all masterpieces in the horror genre, this film succeeds not on the basis of gore and slash, of which there is little, but on the basis of the single most important element for a great horror film--atmosphere. The Ring uses unusual, creepy imagery (the twisted photos, the "death" film), color and shadows, unexpected episodes (the horse on the ferry, the coughing up of the medical patch), spooky settings (the remote island, the well), and truly frightening plot twists to keep the suspense and fear ...

Rating: - Frisson at its best!
I watched this film because I thought it was another I had seen several years ago. It wasn't. "The Ring" is much more. Another reviewer called it a cerebral exercise in terror. Exactly! What could have been so hokey became excellent frisson (that thrilling moment that makes your hair prickle).
First, the premise: An urban legend that watching this particular video, receiving a phone call immediately after watching will cause your death in exactly seven days. Don't we pooh-pooh urban ... Read More
Rating:  - Cant get it out of my head
Having just watched The Ring a few nights ago the film is still very vivid and powerful. Leaving a full aray of haunting images that cant be easily forgotten. The story is about a supposed cursed video tape that if watched results in a phone call in where a young girl tells you that in seven days you will die. We see this happen in the opening part of the film. One of the victims is the niece of Rachel Keller(Naomi Watts) who because of the request of her sister digs deeper into the mystery of four young ... Read More
Rating: - Damon Medic's review of "The Ring"
Damon Medic says that of every creepy movie ever made, this film evokes the most real horror this reviewer has ever experienced! This is a film about a video tape that once seen, kills the viewer in seven days. The content of the video tape that kills, has an extremely eery quality. The silence of the video images adds to the horror that just cannot be described in words. You almost feel as though YOU are the viewer of the video tape and that You will die in seven days. I have nightmares about this film, ... Read More
