The Ring (DVD, 2003, Widescreen)

Rachel Keller is a journalist who decides to go undercover on the mysterious death of her niece and her three friends, who seemed to all died on the same day at the same time- 10:00 PM. After being told that her niece was found in a closet with a horrifying look on her face, she searches through her room and finds some pictures, pictures of the cabin where her niece and her friends had stayed a week before the deaths. Rachel finds the cabin and finds an unknown video there. She decides to watch it there, and now has only a limited time to live. She and her divorced husband, Noah, research about the video and find facts about Anna Morgan and her daughter, Samara Morgan, the maker of this video. With only a week left, Rachel and Noah discover the unknown secrets of the life of Samara Morgan, and, hopefully for them, a way to break the curse..

One great movie. Strange but Great..Dont want to say to much incase someone has not seen it yet...a must to see and own....

There is a videotape, you put it into the vcr, you watch it, it's full of disturbing images when it's done the phone rings and a young girl says 7 days. In exactly 7 days, you die. Can Rachel, a journalist, figure out what the images are showing her, and how to stop not only her own demise, but that of her son and ex husband? You'll just have to watch it to find out. Before you die, you'll see the Ring.

Rarely does a scary movie come along and actually scare watchers... The Ring was the first movie I've seen in years that actually spooked the audience with more than just momentary loud noises. Rather, The Ring relies on great cinematography and visuals to produce a strange, creepy movie that gets so twisted during its 90 minutes that the audience never has room or time to step back and realize that the plot doesn't allows make sense. In fact, if the Ring were a book, I would venture to guess that it wouldn't have been successful - but as a movie, The Ring works because the acting is compelling (Naomi Watts is convincingly frightened throughout), the plot is confusingly twisted, and the visuals and filming are superbly done.

Excellent movie, very scary. If you like Naomi Watts and you like scary movies, you'll love this. You may think twice before watching another video on VHS after seeing this.

As for scary, I do believe that this movie held most of my emotions within the movie itself. I not only had to turn on every light in the house when I came home, I also didn't appreciate the ring of the telephone. I have always liked watching scary, but I don't think any other will match. I see this movie in the stores, and refuse to buy one. It messed with my psyciiiii...I remember having nightmares for several days afterwards. Thank you for a bit of a scare.

I saw "The Ring" years ago after it first came out, and I remember liking it very much. I bought it to watch again, somewhat for the first time because of parts and plot line I had forgotten, and I was still impressed when the credits rolled. The psychology of the film making is top notch. The still images and flashbacks, along with a very grim and shadowy lighting approach, are what draw me in and ultimately make this movie. Fantastic.

Saw this in the theater and subsequently bought the sequel on DVD. It's a good late night thriller. Not as cerebral as The Shining but it keeps you guessing. There are some frightening and often grotesque scenes but if you're into creepy horror then this is a good one for your library.

I did not like this movie a lot because it scared the freak out of me. When i watched this with my girl at night time with no lights on and we closed all teh curtains and doors. Of course we knew it was a horror, scary movie. We didn't know it would scare the living hell out of us. After watching this, we could barely walk away from the room. We were wrong, watching at night time is really freaky! WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK and watch it in the afternoon then nighttime.... or you will get nightmares for sure!

One of the best scary movies I have seen in a long time, a real mystery a good plot, excellent characters. Not just montster, killers and blook and goor.

I bought the dvd for my son who has a well in his front yard that looks like the one in the movie and he has not seen the movie before.

This movie really wasn't my cup of tea. I'm one that is usually terrified by watching a good scary movie. This movie was in my opinion too fictional.
It had some moments that really grabbed and kept me on the edge of my seat. I think there was just too many slow spots.

The Ring is one of the scariest movies of this generation. It is a must have for all horror movie fans, and DVD collectors.

An excellent movie that will keep you on edge. This movie is both psychological as well as classic horror. The acting is excellent and ending is disturbing

It scares people 50/50, I was not one who found this movie scrary. But I did like the ending, it was well done (and you knew there would be a sequil).

Definatly a teenage movie! I own it and have watched it 1 time. I would rent it not buy it.

PLEASE CLICK IF YOU FOUND THIS HELPFUL, THANKS

Great movie, got it so quick! What I really like about it, it keep me entertained for the time it was on. I really didn't want it to be over.

Again and again..this review is for both "The Ring" movies..Samara like Kayako gave me chills and nightmares..an angry little spirit a lost little soul, mixed with revenge and a taste for blood...I really felt for the little Spirit in these movies..but nothing explains why she's the way she is..hopefully there will be a "The Ring 3" and we will get our answers in the meantime check out these great edge of your seat movies...

This movie almost made me want to get rid of all the T.V.s in the house (almost). Great special effects, made my skin crawl. Evil comes from unexpected & unexplained places. I don't watch this movie when I am alone at night! Sandi

Oh my God;what a movie;I had no idea what I was anbout too watch it scared the crap out of me keeping me on the edge of my seat. It is a movie worth watching if you like to be frighted out of you skin. Very good movie.

Kept me guessing almost the whole time. If you havent seen it i recommend you do! Bought it because i am expanding my collection with good movies! When i saw this movie in theaters it was great. A lady screamed when the bug went across the screen! lol

I got this movie for my daughter for Christmas. We had been to various during the past few months and hadn't been able to find it. She likes scary movies and we had been to the cinema to see this one. One memory we had was that there were a group of teens ahead of us and at one point, the girl on the furthest inside of the row had to trip over every one else just to get out. She was really scared.

This movie is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen! And unlike other scary movies this one actually makes sense and collected the clues to come up with an ending. I love this movie!

After watching this movie, my sister became a different person. She is afraid of scary movies when she used to love them. This movie is horrifying! Scary sounds and faces is too much for children to handle! I have heard of many children who have had nightmares for a long time because of this movie! Parents: BEWARE!

Really catches you off-guard. Terrific camera work. Freaky story line. Worth every penny. Why do I like being scared so much????!?!!?!?!

Loved the movie, extremely scary i'd recommend to any lover of scary movies. The movie comes highly recommended by many people
