Thanks, Jeff. At least now I know it’s not about home improvement.
Thanks for ruining it for me.
Great movie. Much better than the concurrently released The Grudge.
“The Grudge” is yet another rip-off-the-japs extravaganza, a la “The Ring”…
True, but The Ring 2 is being directed by the original Japanese director of the movie on which The Ring is based. I hope that’s a good thing.
The Ring, rip-off or not, was stylistically more interesting than any horror film I’d seen in a long time. Scared the bejeezus outta me, but that’s what I get for watching it at home all alone!
My anti-spam word is “hell”–how does it do that?
Mine was ‘mother’. Eerie.
Best review yet.
And yes Lyndsey, I thought The Ring was pretty damn creepy. Good style and a gorgeous look, too. It actually seems to help when you have low expectations going into a film (as I did, and was pleasantly surprised).
Anti spam word: “before”. Frightening!
