Matthew M Super Reviewer. Oct 23, Full of suspense and intrigue, The Ring is a subtle but intense thriller.
When a newspaper reporter investigates an underground videotape that supposedly kills you seven days after watching it, she discovers that it's all too true.
And while the pacing seems slow, it just makes the thrills that much more intense when they come. Additionally, the investigation of the tape is well-plotted and engrossing.
Though American remakes of foreign films have a bad rep, The Ring is an impressive horror film that delivers some bone-chilling terrors. Dann M Super Reviewer.
Oct 29, One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in seven days kill them in a pretty messed up fashion, though one that's not quite as messy as you would expect with a director who actually has Gore as his first name.
I presume that silly misunderstanding is why the Rotten Tomatoes consensus is so strangely emphatic about there not being a whole lot of gore, but either way, the fact of the matter is that this is no Peter Jackson film, even though I can see how you would make the mistake, not just because this is a breakout film of sorts with "Ring" in the title, but because it features Naomi Watts having to deal with some strange creature with a whole lot of hair.
Yeah, this chick seriously needs a haircut, though I'm certainly not gonna tell her that she looks about as hairy as King Kong, not just because I seriously wouldn't want some crazy demon girl to get mad at me, but because she's freaky enough when she's not showing off her messed up face all the time.
So yeah, I would have expected the dude who directed "MouseHunt" and "The Mexican" to do as effective of a job as he does with a horror film, and quite frankly, I'm glad, because if "MouseHunt" gave you good idea of how disturbing of a filmmaker Gore Verbinski can get, then we would be looking as some seriously traumatised kids.
Shoot, I think Jack Sparrow is too disturbing-looking, and if I thought there was any remote possibility that he would crawl out of the TV, forget about it, I don't care how white I am, I'm not touching that tape.
Shoot, it's , I say that like I will touch a video tape in the near future. Well, already dated or not, the fact of the matter is that this chiller is an effective one, and yet, and as tense as this film gets to be, perhaps it is a touch too atmospheric for its own good.
Intended to be good old fashion ceaseless tension, the film is immensely atmospheric, and that works about as often, if not more than it doesn't, yet the fact of the matter is that there are occasions where the immense atmosphere doesn't necessarily work, overemphasizing the aura of a situation so much to the point of feeling manipulative, and not just during the scary moments, as too much tension will find itself pumped into areas where no overwhelming intrigue is needed, with quite possibly the biggest "Wait, what?
Sure, Gore Verbinski is a good enough director to where the scene in question and others don't come off as too awkward, yet the tonal overbearingness still stands, which isn't to say that the atmosphere has to necessarily be behind something to be problematic.
Just the overally meditative dreaminess of the atmosphere proves disengaging, as it dulls things down quite considerably and quite often, and yet, although the film is perhaps at its dullest when quitness is emphasized, it's not like the film is all that much fun when there's nothing to fear.
Expostion and one-off dialogue pieces aren't necessarily too boring, because there's still something going on, yet things get to be all too quiet, even when quietness is purposeless, and this, of course, keeps momentum from picking up all that consistently.
Dullness is formed often, and with it, dullness' old companion, blandness, which may not be too terribly relentless, yet stands consistent enough to do some damage on the final product.
Still, it's not like the film was ever going to have all that much bite in the first place, as its story, while reasonably engaging, is filled with conventions, and is not too much more than simply decent to begin with, and with the story's shortcomings going emphasized by the aforementioned thorough slowness, the promising project sputters out as a bit underwhelming.
Of course, the film doesn't fall too far down the well-I mean, the totem pole, because for every fall, there is indeed a rise, in tension that is, with style keeping consistent in its commendable height.
Deeply colored, bleakly lit and handsomely defined, Bojan Bazelli's photography may supplement the film's blandness, being dreamy and with color diluted by an overwhelming amount of deep greenish blue, yet still catches your attention with its elegantly dark look, as well as its supplementing the film's bleakness more than the blandness, while something that soley supplements intrigue being, of all things, the editing.
Okay, maybe Craig Wood's editing isn't completely innocent as a culprit behind the film's slowness, keeping scenes loose and quiet, yet when things pick up and Wood finds an opportunity to play with some nifty editing tricks, he delivers on neat quick insertions of imagery to keep you alert during the more meditative moments when not making sure that the film's relatively more fast-pace moments keep pumping through slickly stylish quick cuts that supplement the intensity that gives you a reasonably potent sense of intrigue towards the film's mystery aspects and, of course, more major thrills.
Yes, people, while the film's ceaseless attempts at intrigue get to be a bit manipulative, or at least just plain exhausting, and by extension, rather fall-flat, more often than not, the film chills and pulls you to the edge of your seat, partially thanks to the cleverly disturbing imagery and, of course, the work of my man Mr.
Hans Zimmer, whose work isn't necessarily as terribly sharp as it usually is, yet remains pretty sharp, providing well-composed tunes that, when married with the immersively strong sound design and Gore Verbinski's atmosphere, sinks into the film, as well as your nerves more often than not.
The film isn't necessarily as consistently thrilling as it should be, yet it is at least generally chilling, or if nothing else, reasonably compelling, thanks largely to Naomi Watts, who doesn't really have enough to do to carry this film through thick and thin and give the final product the extra push it needs to be truly rewarding, yet delivers on emotional range and a genuine presence of humanity that engrosses you when Watts is at her strongest, which isn't to say that Watts doesn't engage to one degree or another throughout this film.
Watts keeps this film going when the film really starts to dip, yet doesn't go backed up with enough to do consistently for her performance, and the film with her, to thoroughly engross, so the performance that does the most in bringing this film close to genuine goodness is the very one that helps in dropping this film to a state of underwhelmingness: the key offscreen one.
Director Gore Verbinski doesn't feel too terribly assured in his direction, keeping things either too atmospheric or just too dull, and that is what renders the final product underwhelming, yet at the same time, when Verbinski really wakes up, you join him, because although his atmosphere does get to be too much, much more often than not, it's effective in its clever sobriety which chews at you and keeps you eager to see just what is to happen next.
Verbinski does a decent job of absorbing the depth of the story's intrigue, both as something of a mystery drama and as a psychological thriller, and while he does do too good of a job in some areas and not good enough of a job in others, to where the final product falls as quite improvable, Verbinski, with the help of his team of other talents, keeps you going.
As the screen fuzzes out, you're left both wanting a little more and a little less, in that you find yourself overwhelmed by the excessive and dulling atmosphere and underwhelmed by too much dull quietness even when there's nothing really going on, thus resulting in the blandness that, alongside the conventions, exposes enough of the limitations within the story for the film to fall flat as underwhelming, yet not to where it doesn't find more than a few occasions in which it picks itself back up, going supported by the striking visual and editing style and nifty score work - courtesy of the great Hans Zimmer - that catch your attention and supplement the intrigue that goes further supplemented by Naomi Watts' compelling performance, and established by Gore Verbinski's having enough atmospheric effectiveness to make "The Ring" an enjoyable chiller, even if its does stand to thrill more.
Cameron J Super Reviewer. Oct 25, There's plenty of supporting thriller, narrative and character to make this relatively understated film really creep up on you and linger in the mind, unpredictable, seriously tense and seriously frightening, though without quite reaching a layer of thematic depth to qualify a place in the hall of horror greats.
Louis R Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. Grasnik: It means ever since that girl's been gone, things have been better.
Samara: [singing by the well] : Here we go, the world is spinning. When it stops, it's just beginning.
Sun comes up, we all laugh. In Seattle , teenagers Katie Embry and Becca Kotler discuss the legend of a cursed videotape; whoever watches it dies seven days later.
Katie claims she watched the tape with three friends a week ago. Minutes later, Katie is killed by an unseen force, and Becca is institutionalized after witnessing it.
At Katie's funeral, her mother, Ruth, urges her sister Rachel Keller , a journalist, to investigate her daughter's death. Rachel lives with her young son Aidan, who possesses a degree of mediumship.
Rachel learns that Katie's friends Josh Turandot, Scott Conduroy, and Stacey Miller all died on the same night, sporting disfigured appearances. Rachel travels to Shelter Mountain Inn where Katie stayed, discovering the rumoured cursed videotape.
Renting the same cabin as Katie, Rachel watches the tape, which contains disturbing, gruesome imagery.
Once the tape ends, Rachel receives a phone call from an unknown caller who whispers "seven days". Rachel recruits Noah Clay, her ex-boyfriend and Aidan's father, to study the tape, making a copy after he watches the original.
Rachel begins to suffer supernatural symptoms as the week passes, haunted by a young girl with soaking wet hair. Investigation into the tape's imagery leads Rachel to Anna Morgan, a horse breeder from Moesko Island, who committed suicide after her prize-winning horses drowned themselves.
Rachel catches Aidan watching the tape, and discovers Noah is suffering similar symptoms. On the ferry journey, a horse is spooked by Rachel's presence, leaping to its death.
Noah goes to Eola Psychiatric Hospital to view Anna's medical files. Both separately discover Anna had an adopted daughter, Samara , who possessed an ability to psychically etch mental images onto surfaces and into minds, driving her parents mad.
Rachel tries to speak with Richard about Samara, but he denies her existence. Rachel speaks with Dr. Grasnik, the island's general practitioner , who explains Samara was adopted due to Anna's infertility , recommending them to admit her to Eola, assuming Samara is still there.
Rachel sneaks into the Morgan farmhouse, watching a videotape of Samara in a psychotherapy session, who claims she has no control over her abilities.
Rachel confronts Richard, who electrocutes himself in a bathtub with a horse bridle upon learning Samara's powers are still at large.
Noah arrives, he and Rachel go to the barn, where Samara was isolated in the loft. They find a burnt image of a tree, Rachel recognizing it from Shelter Mountain.
They return to the cabin, locating a stone well hidden under the floorboards; the final image on the tape. Rachel falls in the well, experiencing a vision of Anna suffocating Samara and throwing her down the well, sealing her in, where she drowned seven days later.
Samara's corpse surfaces after Noah tells Rachel that the seven-day deadline has passed. The next day, Rachel reassures Aidan that the curse has been lifted by liberating Samara.
In a twist, a distressed Aidan tells Rachel that it was a mistake to help Samara, revealing he is still cursed.
In his apartment, Noah encounters the vengeful ghost of Samara emerging from his television, murdering him. Rachel, upon finding his disfigured corpse, returns home and destroys the original tape in a furious rage, asking why Noah was killed but she was not.
She realizes that the difference is that she made a copy of the tape, which Aidan watched, thereby continuing the cycle that Samara wants to spread of duplicating the video and showing it to someone else to save oneself.
Rachel shows Aidan how to make his own copy. He remarks that the curse will never stop and asks what will happen to the person who watches the new tape, to which Rachel does not answer.
The Ring went into production without a completed script. Verbinski was initially inspired to do a remake of Ringu after Walter F.
Parkes sent him a VHS copy of the original Japanese film, which he describes as "intriguing", "Pulp" and "avant-garde". Producer Neal Edelstein offered the remake to David Lynch to direct, but he turned it down.
The film also sought to retain the minimalism that was prevalent throughout Ringu and was decidedly set in Seattle , due to its "wet and isolated" atmosphere.
Verbinski also admitted to not wanting to cast "big stars" as he wanted his film to be "discovered" and describes the wave of harsh criticism from hardcore fans of the original Japanese film as "inevitable" although he expressed desire for hardcore fans of the original to find the remake equally as compelling.
The film features an original score composed by Hans Zimmer who would later collaborate on Gore Verbinski's other works. The soundtrack release did not coincide with the film's theatrical run.
The soundtrack contains a few themes associated with the characters, moods, and locations, including multiple uses of the Dies Irae theme.
In order to advertise The Ring , many promotional websites were formed featuring the characters and places in the film. The video from the cursed videotape was played in late night programming over the summer of without any reference to the film.
The film was financially successful, and the box office gross increased from its first weekend to its second. The initial success led DreamWorks to increase the film into additional theaters.
The Ring was met with generally positive reviews from film critics. Roger Ebert gave the film "Thumbs Down" and felt it was boring and "borderline ridiculous"; he also disliked the extended, detailed ending.
You know that you're going to see something a little different than your usual studio crap. Despite the praise given to Verbinski's direction, critics described the characters as weak.
The Chicago Reader ' s Jonathan Rosenbaum said that the film was "an utter waste of Watts… perhaps because the script didn't bother to give her a character", [12] whereas other critics such as William Arnold from Seattle Post-Intelligencer said the opposite: "she projects intelligence, determination and resourcefulness that carry the movie nicely.
Bloody Disgusting ranked the film sixth in their list of the "Top 20 Horror Films of the Decade", with the article saying that "The Ring was not only the first American 'J-Horror' remake out of the gate; it also still stands as the best.
A sequel, The Ring Two , was released in
