The Ring

Advantages: casting
Disadvantages: none

...seen, however still very memorable. The plot consists of a journalist investigating a videotape with very disturbing images that may have killed four teenagers, now even through the cheesy plot of a killer video tape, it really drawed me in. The reason she begins to investigate, is one the teenagers that was killed was her niece, after hearing about the urban legend about this killer video tape that after 7 days of watching it you will die. Rachel ...
...the legend is true, she only has seven days to reverse the evil that is now after her, and after her son after he watches the tape. The plot was very different to other horror films, and normally I don’t enjoy horrors as I believe most of them have the same plot over and over again. The director called Gore Verbinski has directed great other films like pirates of the Caribbean 2, the weather man and the Mexican. All other great films of mine, this ...

Review of The Ring (DVD)

She's back!

Advantages: Some jumpy moments
Disadvantages: Extremely dull

Following on from the events in the first film, Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and her son Aidan (David Dorfman) have now moved to a small town in order to start their life over again after the horrific events that occurred to them previously. Rachel has now got a job at a local newspaper in order to spend more time with her son however when a teenager dies in very extraordinary circumstances, Rachel feels that his death is all too familiar. That’s ...
...into Aidan… I enjoyed the first film although it was rather slow, this film however is terrible. There seems to be nothing redeemable about it. The director has tried to break away from very simple but effective premise of the first film, that being of course that after you’ve watched the video tape you’ll be dead in exactly seven days. This film has been made more complicated than that. It hardly uses the video aspect of it at all which is what ...

Review of The Ring Two (DVD)

The child from hell

Advantages: Reasonable thriller
Disadvantages: Plot loses its way and becomes a bit dull

...suspects may have links to the videotape and Samara, the girl who instigated the previous spate of deaths. When Aiden appears to have been taken over by an evil spirit, Rachel is convinced that Samara is back on their track. Can she and Aiden keep Samara at a distance or are they doomed to die as so many others already have? I have enjoyed watching Japanese horror for some time now; the recent spate of Hollywood films based on Japanese horror clearly ...
...way. On the whole, though, I have not been impressed by Hollywood remakes and prefer to stick to the originals. However, I did enjoy remake of The Ring, although it wasn't without its faults, and based on that, thought it was worth looking up the second one. Naomi Watts reappears as Rachel Keller. I am always in two minds about Watts as an actress. I generally think she's quite bland, but I thought her performance in Painted Veil more than made up ...

Review of The Haunting (DVD)

Classic werewolf film

Advantages: Story and special effects
Disadvantages: none

The John Landis film, An American Werewolf in London, is an iconic film that has achieved cult status over the years. This film is about two American college students, David Kessler and Jack Goodman, who whilst backpacking in England, encounter a werewolf who vicious attacks them, killing Jack but it is killed before David is killed as well. David wakes up in a hospital in London but starts to suffer terrible nightmares of his dead friend Jack, ...
...Sergeant McManus This is an excellent film that has a brilliant story. The story is quite simple but features some great dialogue and quirky special effects. The cast is not exactly full of big stars but John Landis, who wrote and directed this film has managed to get some brilliant performances from the cast. The transformation of David into the werewolf is quite impressive and well done. The scene at the start of the film is very eerie and very ...
