Disturbing images and a few good shocks don't stop The Ring from being a hash of half-baked ideas. It's the kind of frightfest you'll watch to set a chilling mood or spook your susceptible friends, but when you try to sort it out, this well-mounted American remake (of the 1998 Japanese hit Ringu, based on Koji Suzuki's popular novel) collapses into a heap of incoherent parts. The negligible plot follows a Seattle reporter (Naomi Watts) as she investigates the death of her niece, the victim of a mysterious videotape that, according to vague urban legend, causes the viewer's death seven days later. (Fear Dot Com borrowed the same idea while avoiding this film's lofty pretensions.) The reporter, her son, and her estranged boyfriend view the tape, and the film's countdown structure follows them into deepening layers of terror--all quite effective until the movie attempts to explain itself. At that you're better off shutting down your brain and letting the creepy visuals take over.

THE RING!
hab den Film vor 2 Wochen in der sneak gesehen und ich muss sagen,der ist DER Hammer! dagegen ist Scream usw. was fürn Kindergarten.Während des Films gingen ca. 30-40 Leute raus,weil sie s nicht mher aushielten. Zum Video: Es kommen viele durcheinander geschnittene Scenen,die auf den 1. Blick keinen Zusammenhang haben.Wer es sich ansieht stirbt genau 7 Tage später-zumindest im Film,also ich lebe noch. Trotzdem,es geht extrem auf die Psyche,würds mir nicht anschaun.
