The Ring (2002) 7/10

Starring : Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, David Dorfman, Brian Cox
Director : Gore Verbinski
Running Time : 111 mins

Rachel Keller (Watts) is a journalist who, when her niece dies mysteriously, discovers an urban legend about a video tape that can kill within seven days of being watched. As she investigates further, she comes across the tape and watches it, only to receive a phone call from a mysterious young girl who tells her of her impending demise.

In spite of not being as good as the original Japanese movie, this is still a decent enough horror flick. A few things have been changed between movies, but this still works reasonably well, although this relies more heavily on attempting to make the audience jump rather than letting the general atmosphere take over.
