For me this still is one of the best horror movies around.

After the TV movie from 1995 already demonstrated the potential of the story, the first theatrical adaptation of the novel "The Ring" by Kōji Suzuki is able to fully realize it. In contrast to the first work, this one succeeds in maintaining the tension throughout. Nanako Matsushima and Sanada Hiroyuki work very well as the two leads. And the changes from the original also make for more interesting character dynamics. However, the film suffers from some pacing issues, and the horror also comes up a bit short for my taste. The only real shock moment is the iconic finale, but that makes up for a lot. I don't see "Ring" as a masterpiece, but it's a pretty good film that still works very well today.

Ringu deserves praise for its original ideas but falls to its American counterpart. It lacks the atmosphere and creepiness the story needs to be effective. The writing also takes the easy path of making difficult and obscure situations easily understood by characters in order to move the story alone.

Really very astonishingly good horror. More subtle than the American version. I like both pretty equally.

This film is very Japanese.If the objective of any horror movie is to scare, then Ringu succeeds with flying colours. Everything about this movie is genuinely disturbing and unsettling. From the mythology of the tale to the ghastly contorted faces of the corpses that Sada, the demon of the story lea More
