Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Classically shot, with effective use of stereo sound effects, the movie is almost entirely free of visual horror and the usual Eastern ghost cliches, managing to suspend auds' disbelief in the hokey story through pure atmosphere.

The finale, too, still feels as twisted, bizarre and down-right nightmarish as it did all those years ago.

As good as The Ring is, it can't top the original for sheer, shivering terror.

Ringu has a minimalist intensity that can stop the heart with a simple flash-cut or a well-timed fillip in the musical score.
