Review of The Ring

The Ring (2002)
Ummmm..
19 March 2003
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS.

Good premise but the film is unrefined. Here is how to fix it:

1.) The opening scene is awkward. The girl had expectations of being wacked (her & day anniversary was coming up) and she's acting silly. And if all these kids who watched the video are aware of what's going to happen (or have suspicions) why are they all seperated. A scene with them all together as time runs out, where some believe and some don't would have been much better.

2.) Don't make the first victim the cousin of the main character. Since she is a journalist the oddity of the kids' deaths (as well as the rumors) her looking into it would have been justified. Maybe later on have a close relative of her's get killed.

3.) Their should have been more victims that she ran across in her investigation to build up tension.

4.) The relationship between her son and the girl was okay but it needed to be fully explained. As it is it's weak. The kid could be presented as the strange young lad that he is with an imaginary friend. Then as the plot thickens we find out who the friend really is. Need some reason for the boy to be picked though.
