Leave your thoughts about The Ring.
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressDisplaying a storytelling confidence unseen in most genre pictures, The Ring succeeds in being the most terrifying film to hit theaters since The Blair Witch Project. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerAnyone who gets chills from movies with giant plot holes will find plenty to shake and shiver about in 'The Ring.' |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid Keyes...a distinctive, eerie, unsettling and suggestive film on every cylinder. And for a film that contains few orthodox horror elements, it's also damn good and what it does. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxTurning a great movie into a pretty good one is still a step in the wrong direction... and The Ring will never be more than a pretty good movie. |

| Christian Science MonitorAlex KaloostianOne of the most intelligent and genuinely scary ghost stories to come around in a long time. |

| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeSuccessfully envelops us in a disturbing experience. |
