The Ring
 
saw the ring tonight and now it's about 1 am. i can't sleep. that movie. holy crap. i'm not a huge fan of scary movies but was coaxed into seeing it. so... i guess this post is...what did everybody else think?

I thought it was ok, but left me wanting a lot more.

I just wanted to know more of the back story, more about why what happend did (trying not to spoil any of it). It just lacked a lot.

I also found that most of the scary parts were really just sudden loud bangs. The one truly scary part wasn't long enough.

I dunno, I just didn't like it much.

You just pointed out everything wrong with the movie. That having been said, I really enjoyed it.

Are you refering to Lord of the Rings? Or another movie.

ChrisA 01-02-2003 00:33

The movie called "The Ring".

Harrison 01-02-2003 00:53

I saw it a couple months ago, and it really freaked me out...

OMG at the end when the girl was coming out of the TV, and as she was walking, she like jumped 10 feet.....i very nearly let out a loud shrill scream (I did manage to contain myself).

Thats one awesome/scary/freaky movie.

Tonay K 01-02-2003 01:16

Like Signs the Ring chooses to make you feel uneasy and spooked instead of outright terrified. A feeling of absolute dread. Atmosphere. Something is very wrong but you have no answer to what it is.
I find thse movies much more effective than horror movies that relay on the terriefied and often stupid reactions of the victims who do more to get themselves killed than the killers do(they are very similiar to the crickets I feed to my lizards. Clueless little dummies who practically walk right into death and are picked off before they even realize what has happened to them).

I liked it the first time...the second time I found it funny. It really loses everything the second time around.

I really want to see Ring, Ring 2 and Ring 0 (the Japanese flicks they were based off of)

They're s'possed to scar you for life. *shrug* I know people who've seen both and say Sadako is so much scarier than Samora.

I loved how Samora looked in the video where they like interviewed her. It was so innocent and scary.

My brother downloaded the Japanese version off of Kazaa, but it was of such horrible quality it wasn't scary at all...I guess blurs just dont inspire the same kind of fear.

He got The Ring(american) too, but the sound was way off. Ever hear someone talking from a closed closet? That would be this movie's quality. And yes, I know its just that particular version :)

utishpenguin 01-02-2003 19:54

bleh
 
some of my friend refused to see it because it was totally ripped of the japanese production.. i foudn it rather amusing

Little Lee132 01-02-2003 20:02

The movie sucked. It wasn't scarry at all. To be truthful I thought Harry Potter 2 was scarier.

utishpenguin 01-02-2003 20:13

true
 
i am never really scared by scary movie... hannibal was just gruesome. i thought LOTR two towers was going to scary... but it wasn't... but there was enough suspicion :D .

K.Shaw 02-02-2003 02:04

torn_paperdoll 03-02-2003 02:16

Team238-aholic 04-02-2003 22:39

oooooh i just saw "The Ring" for the second time, cause they showed it at school.....it was scary!! it was alot easier watching it the second time around though...my roommate freaked out!!!!

Little Lee132 06-02-2003 17:38

If you wanna se an actually scary movie then see Darkness Falls, I mean it wasn't that scary but if you think that the ring and signs was scary then you would definetly think this movie is better because those movies sucked.

utishpenguin 06-02-2003 19:27

haha
 
how about jeepers creepers?

Little Lee132 07-02-2003 15:15

I thought that Jeepers Creepers was scary, It is one of the few movies that I actually am scared to watch, but everyone else I know that seen it thought it was a stupid movie..so I don't know but I thought it was scary.

Katie Reynolds 07-02-2003 16:18

I thought Jeepers Creepers was kind of dumb. It was scary in the beginning ... but the ending was stupid. :shrug:

I haven't seen The Ring, yet. Someday I'll get around to it! :)
