The Ring

The movie doesn’t make any kind of sense, and yet I spent the next 24 hours creeped out beyond belief. The “killer video” itself is so incredibly unsettling, and the tinny music on it…[shudder]. I didn’t want to turn the TV off in case it turned itself back on or something, and the really sad part is that I spent most of the really scary sequence towards the end with my cardigan buttoned up over the top of my head because I couldn’t take it — I didn’t even see most of it! And I still want to see the Japanese original? Masochist, right here. Anyway, I don’t know whether to recommend it or not. As suspense, it’s pretty bad; the plotting’s center doesn’t hold. But the acting is good, and for sheer scary atmosphere…yow.
