Ring


I very much enjoy horror movies, but after getting scared shitless at the US version of The Grudge, I've always been a bit wary of watching Japanese horrors... purely because I knew they would scare the crap out of me a million times more than an American remake would.

I didn't know much about Ring, expect that anyone who watches this videotape will die within a week.

I got a bit annoyed with the subtitles in this film. They were in white, which was a bit stupid especially when the screen went white.. you couldn't read them. Meh. Didn't get that.

Anyway, it was definitely a creepy film. I liked the plot.. it was a cleverly written story but with distinctively average acting... which I suppose doesn't really matter in a film which is just meant to scare the bejesus out of you. The wee Japanese kid was creepy.. as always :P

Also, it may be the creepiest DVD cover I've ever seen. That eye is terrifying.

7/10
