Ring is one of those rare movies that seems to get right under your skin.
The film has a fantastic brooding atmosphere of pervading evil that slowly creeps up on you throughout the film.It has some fabulously bizarre sequences which are already becoming firm favourites with horror fans.
The more you watch the movie & the more you find out about the story the more terrying it becomes.
For the brave (or stupid!): Watch it at night or with the curtains drawn & your phone ringer on max volume.
For the very nervous:Watch with phone switched off or with defibrillator close to hand in case of heart attack.
Either way once you watch this film you'll never feel quite the same after....
Western film-makers take note, this is real horror
