| Birmingham PostGraham YoungThere are times when Nakata skilfully blends the real world with cyber unreality to illustrate how impressionable youngsters can end up wondering just which world they are in at any time. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe film finally fizzles into feeble melodrama, with all the power of an old episode of Grange Hill. |
| Little White LiesJosh WinningIn the end, Nakata's notion of a web gone wild has moments of visual merit, but is a little too clinical and coldly cynical. |
| Financial TimesLeo RobsonThe gimmick is so poorly conceived that we spend most of the film converting what we are being shown into what is actually going on. It isn't worth the effort. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThere's a great idea here, but this awkward and dated film struggles to bring the cyberspace experience to life in the form of a gritty teen thriller. |
| Radio TimesDamon WisePlausible chills are offset by the film's clumsy youth-movie trimmings, which, through lurid visuals and ripe overacting by its largely unknown cast, drain most of the suspense and interest... |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanDirector Hideo "The Ring" Nakata never connects with the script (by Enda Walsh, adapting from his own play). |
| GuardianPhilip FrenchUnfortunately the scenes set in the real world (the locations include Camden Lock and the London Zoo) are stilted and unconvincing, while those in the chatrooms become increasingly tedious. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonShallow, violent movie could spark teen discussion. |
| Sky CinemaRob DanielA film that never approaches the real-life terror of discovering your broadband's down. |
