Don't think you'll experience disappointment; the story is good with nice little twists & turns, the acting is wonderful and the costuming and sets ~ QUALITY  |
In my book the original of The Ring was a masterpiece. For once Hollywood got it right and actually improved on the Japanese original - and you can count the number of times that's happened on an emu's foot (three toes )
I remember the Australian 'Movie Show' reviewers at the time calling it, "really creepy." And they were right. It's full of amazing ideas and sequences - who can forget the phone call and the distorted photographs or Becca's face when they find her in the wardrobe or the horse jumping overboard from the ferry and finding the little girl's room in the barn - the list is endless.
Of course then they went and made a totally unnecessary sequel which upset and reversed the resolution and closure of the original but to me that first film stands as a rare gem in a wasteland of rubbish.
