Review of Ringu

Ringu (1998)
6/10
A bit overrated...
20 February 2002
Yes, this film is creepy to watch but I was expecting a bit more after

reading all of the positive comments hear. There were two

problems I had with this movie. First of all, the characters accept

the supernatural part of the movie too quickly. One of the reasons

a movie becomes scary because the characters can no longer

turn their back on the horror. Here, they don't question it enough.

They just accept it.

Secondly, the whole story at the core of it all, isn't all that scary or

great.

While watching the movie, you'll be creeped, most definetly. But

when it's all over, there's something like, "that was it?"

When you liked this movie, I highly recommend David Cronenberg's VIDEODROME. While not as scary to watch, it will

not leave your mind soon after you've seen it. RINGU left it before

the credits ended.
