Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Gore Verbinski creates an air of dread that begins with the first scene and never lets up, subtly incorporating elements from the current wave of Japanese horror films along the way.

fresh:
The filmmakers have wisely stayed close to the original's mood, which is somber and flat, with quick (near-subliminal) inserts and a soundtrack full of watery-grave groans and murmurs.

fresh:
An edgy, watchable film, but one that makes you feel more squeamish than screamish.

rotten:
The Ring, about a videotape that kills people, is so full of inconsistencies and plot holes that I stumbled from a recent screening with few answers, and a ton of questions.

Watching The Ring won't kill you, but it could bore you half to death.
