Review of The Ring

The Ring (2002)
7/10
Apparently a lot of people scare very easily
4 November 2002
I am on a quest: to find a movie that will truely frighten me- what does a girl have to see to scare the pants off of her? With all the hype surrounding this movie, which so many have called "the scariest movie ever" I was hoping to have found a truely scary movie. I did not.

My conclusion from watching this movie is a lot of people are very easily frightened. What on Earth did people find so very frightening about this movie? It doesn't have a more than mildly frightening scene in it up until the last 15 minutes. Personally, I wouldn't rank it in the top 20 scariest movie, never mind *the* scariest. I should have know better than to expect it to be scary when one of the ads compared it to Rosemary's Baby, which is about as scary as 3-day-old leftovers- you know, before they go all green and moldy.

However, if people thought The Ring was really scary, they should see Session 9, another non-scary horror movie that has a similar "feel" to it, which seems to scare some people, anyway.

Don't get me wrong, though, the Ring is a pretty good movie, I'd give it a 7.5 or 8 out of 10, but it's just not very scary.
