The Ring

[Kanism]

Not too gory a movie and the story telling is dead on perfect. Distrubing images that burn into your mind so you are still envisioning them days after viewing the movie so as to give you chills at random moments.

Yes, the movie is good...in my opinion...it is damn good...first movie to make me jump in a long, long time...this is coming from a jaded bastard that grew up on a steady diet of slasher and shock films.

Go see it with friends and loved ones...go to the web site...splice the images together...plant a tape at someone's house...anticipate when they will stumble upon it (probably think it's porn)...watch it...then, WHAMMO!!!!...call them

say "SEVEN DAYS" in your freakiest female voice.

anyways...great movie...highly recommended for a good scare.

:eek:

[Unregistered2]

The Ring f0cking sucked.
A girl coming out of the TV and kill you?... can anyone say poltergeist? please....

Too much talking, quite predictable, kid doesn't listen to the mom, ex boyfriend.
Not enough gore... boring, and quite comical at sometimes.
oooo... very mysterious, a tape in the middle of nowhere.
Woods... can anyone say Blair Witch Project.

Sorry movie.
I dont get scared easy... and the ring was pretty comical.
Thank God i downloaded from the net, it would have been a waste of money and gas to actually go to the movies and watch it.

[Cheesedick]

The WOG original version was actually better

[Kanism]

whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?!?!? WOG version?!?!? please elaborate.

[DEICIDE666]

YEH THAT MOVIE RULES.

[gibridehome]

pretty awsome movie.....

[i am irish]

i wouldnt know becaus i got kicked out 2 minutes into the movie

[gibridehome]

why? where u beating off in the theater again

[Kanism]

sorry to drudge up an old thread...but, I watched the Japanese movie which "The Ring" was adapted from...even less gore and almost no violence...but, the cinematography/sounds/schocks really dug its nails into my mind...I was completed freaked by it...highly recommended if you can get your hands on it if you enjoyed "The Ring"

now, to go watch Ringu 2 and Ringu 0....

[ChEeRiNsWeeTie]

*Laughs at gibridehome* That's purdy funny. Anyway, that movie was okay. It was kind of stupid, but I liked the plot and everything. It was really confusing at first though...Maybe I'm just slow...:confused: Haha. I'm really lost...what are all these buttons for?? Lol.

[Nima]

I thought it was a great movie... Pretty freaky at some points and kept you suspensful through out it. However, I thought the character of the husband could be expressed better during some scenes (not enough of his emotions shown didn't get to know him well enough). Generally, it was good though... And the thing about the girl coming out of the screen: This is called a fictional movie, it's not real life buddy.

Except for a dumb bunch of kids that kept laughing every damn second ;p

[Kanism]

some people laugh or poke fun to hide their insecurities...so, those kids were laughing to hide the fact that they were scared out of their minds...

I know that one of my friends and I jumped out of our seats at the scene where the centipede pops out of the files...I don't know why, it just did

I will not be looking in any oval mirrors!!!! ;)

great storytelling...goes to show you can scare the bejeezus outta someone without having to resort to buckets of blood and guts

[Blink Zildjian]

That movie wasn't as scary as I thought. All my friends say it was the scariest movie they ever saw. I just got scary thoughts about it after.

[Kanism]

the images get burned into your mind...they did mine and I had trouble falling asleep that night...weird thing is that the friend whom I was visiting in California when we watched it has a well looking thing in her front yard...talk about your unintentional freak outs.

it's scary because if you let the story take over, you get drawn into it, and almost experience it as well...ahhhh...for the days of old....bleh...who am I kidding...days of old for me was just a coupla years ago :D

[EvaMonkey]

I saw the origional Japanese version about 2 years ago, untill that time my horror fortey leaned towards Slasher movies (like Halloween, Nightmare, Friday 13th, Scream and so on), I saw this film late at night thinking that my knowledge of "Scary Movies" would tollerate what was in store for me, Oh dear lord I was wrong, this film scared 7 kinds of hell out of me, It was phsycological, mystical, every thing Blair Which should have been and wanted to be (this came out way before Blair Whitch had been thought of). Needless to say I didnt watch TV for a while.


True Story: My arse-hole of a best friend called me exactaly after the film finished, scared? you bet I was:p

[passionpanda23]

I just rented the ring last night,and didn't get a chance to see it yet. I hope I will be able to go to sleep tonight after watching it. I'm a pretty big scardy cat when it comes to scary movies. I still sleep with the light on in the closet , when my boyfriend isn't home. :(

[EvaMonkey]

Hey Panda if you watch it tonight, dont sleep in a room with a TV;)

[minia]

You are going to flip! It is pretty bad ass, I saw it twice in the theater. Do not watch it alone....

[passionpanda23]

OMG......OMG......OMG!!!! That movie scared the shit out of me!!! I watched it right before I went to bed, and I couldn't fall asleep, for like an hour and a half I tossed and turned. Every little noise would wake me up. I can't believe how scary it was. :(

[minia]

Pobrecito!! I suppose I should count myself lucky that I saw it in the theater.

[passionpanda23]

You have no idea how tired I am right now. I mean I had hardly any sleep I was so jumpy. Good thing I didn't have any nightmares, but there is always tonight. :( Instead of eating for lunch, I might just take a nap here at work............that is how tired I am. Damn movie!!!:mad:

[ChEeRiNsWeeTie]

I watched this movie again with some of my friends saturday at a sleepover...all the girls were on the bed screamin' their hearts out while I was sitting on the couch with Adam, who was the only guy there, and we were cracking up at them...it was pretty hilarious.

When the horse "jumps" off the boat, me and adam were like "oh! this is the best part!" and all the other girls were like "ewwwwwww you guys are so mean!! that's really sad...poor horsey"

And then they screamed when the TV turned on in the beginning...tsk tsk..

I had nightmares for 3 nights after seeing that movie in theaters...I'm such a fawking pussy

[SATAN]

See, people used to be scared of me, releasing me wrath and all that.

Nowadays your all movies and super computer net game thingys.

Is anybody actually still scared of me?....BOO?

Naaa, Suppose GOD aint in favour anymore either?

Is there no place for the creators in this modern world?

*cries pathetically*:(

[gibridehome]

well satan, you gotta change with the times. learn how to crawl out of peoples tvs, thats the thing thats popular these days. :D

[EvaMonkey]

Satan, you cant win theres a new evil, its called TV, Your boys in hell were on a winner with that one:D

[SATAN]

Small world eh?

My earth base is manchester too, when im not breaking up fights between evil dictators and people who swear a lot down in the depths.

I like manchester cos it reminds me of home.

Or better yet, computer screens. Every body and their dog owns a pc now a days.

[EvaMonkey]

Passionpanda....you've just made me scared of my PC screen.


Your in Manchester Satan? how about that, the devil comes from my neck of the woods

[ChEeRiNsWeeTie]

Umm....:confused:

[Kanism]

yes!!! The Ring is hellagood and scary...and all you people that say you weren't scared by it are LIARS!!!!...

panda, I feel your pain...I have a TV in my room, so I basically slept with my bed lamp on after one of my viewings of it...chicken? mebbe...scared? you betcha!

for those of you that really liked the movie, I highly recommend getting a copy of Ringu (stateside release is soon) and spending a bit of time reading sub-titles...Ringu freaked me way more than The Ring could've possibly tried to scare me.

speaking of which...I recently read that at the indy film festival in Austin, there was a screening of some Japanese horror movie called, "The Eye"...supposed to be a freakishly good movie that has been picked up by Tom Cruise's production company for another re-hash...dunno...may have a similar impact as "The Ring"

[minia]

I read about that, a woman gets a cornea transplant or something. Can't wait till it comes to the US.....

[EvaMonkey]

Ive heard about "The Eye", it was released over here and is now on dvd, It's kinda like "The 6th Sence" but a hell of alot more scary, basic stroyline (as far as I know, I havent seen it YET) is this woman, who was blind since birth, goes to have an operation to see afterward she begins seeing dead people...

I probably havent sold it enuff, I have heard that its hella scary, go and see it, you might like it.

[Kanism]

we can't in the states...bunch of snooty fucks somewhere won't let us see really good films in wide release...it's almost like we have to use secret code and diagrams to catch any worthwhile foreign flicks...meanwhile, we are buried with shit stain films starring a fucktard ensemble that is even worth the 30 seconds of TV time wasted to hype it....blech, I'm buying a multi-region dvd player and shopping over seas!

Are you calling me a liar?? You...you...geekface!!! I'm teling mommy on you!!!

[Kanism]

hmmmmm....does the shoe fit, cheer?

;) but, only a liar in this matter...now red...she lies all the time!!!! heh heh heh...bringing inside jokes out in the open is so uplifting

[ChEeRiNsWeeTie]

Yeah...haha. :(

Well...umm I'm NOT from Florida, thank you. Hehehe

[TOOL illusion]

WTF does being from Florida have to do with anything?!?!?!

[Kanism]

inside joke, tool...nothing against floridians at all :) relax babe, be happy that I'm back like every body else :D

[ChEeRiNsWeeTie]

Woah...don't get all mad :(

I didn't mean any offense to Floridanians...like Kanism said...it's an inside joke..sorry!!!! :confused:

[passionpanda23]

Well it finally happened...............I had my first nighmare because of that movie last night!!!:( I was pretty shaken up that afterwards it took me forever to get back to sleep. I had to have my cat come sleep with me to feel better. Damn that movie *shakes fist in the air*:mad:

[Kanism]

in Ringu, the girl's name is Sadako instead of Samara...the movies freaked the crap outta my sis and bro in law....anyways, we had already watched Ringu and were watching the Ring...my cell phone rings, my nephew (who is about 20 months) grabs my phone and says, "Sadako".....my sister and bro in law FREAKED out and told him to never do that again...

oh, good raughs!!!

went to the South by Southwest web page and read up on the Eye last night...I am ready to see that movie...where can I get a copy?

Haha okay, no.

We...don't really do that whole "Give me an..." crap irl...honest

[RottingSheep]

I was really expecting a lot scarier with all the comercials (yep they get you every time), it had its highs and it really had its lowes... the movie just draged most of the time. I did enjoy the twist near the end though, thats just something you don't see anymore.

[minia]

As much as I hate to say it, that was really good. They totally had me fooled. That little bi-atch.....

[chris_78660]

it was by far one of the best horror/suspence fims that hollywood has made in years..it almost seemed to me that the director was bringing back the style of the classics

[minia]

It was kind of like Hitchcock meets horror. There was plenty of Gotta Beat the Clock, and Find Out What is Going On, even Sordid History. Of course no one compares to Alfred Hitchcock. He was definetly a master.

I use to watch Alfred all the time, then it was The Twilight Zone, then it was Tales from the Crypt. I love the Crypt Keeper's laugh.
