Horror. Mystery. Thriller
A videotape makes it way around a circle of friends. Strangely, everyone who views the video tape seems to die exactly one week afterward. After believing this to be an urban legend worthy of an article, a cynical reporter watches the tape and shortly thereafter unsettling occurrences begin to happen to her. Is she slated to be the next victim of some kind of bizarre and seemingly supernatural force?

---|---|---|---|
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "An undeniably creepy, unnerving experience that turns mundane things -- a refrigerator door, a ringing telephone, TV static -- into moments of terrific suspense." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "While impressively made, this impassive and cold feature fails, in a spectacular fashion, to deliver the thrills." | NEU |
United Kingdom | The Guardian | "A rare example of a Hollywood remake that beats its foreign counterpart" | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "Rarely has a more serious effort produced a less serious result (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEU |
United States | Ebert & Roeper | "It's the kind of effectively creepy-scary thriller that has you fixating on a far corner of the screen at times because your nerves just can't take it any more." | POS |
United States | Variety | "A stylish Hollywood remake of the Japanese horror sensation that unfortunately has little personality of its own." | NEU |
United States | SFGATE | "'The Ring' is so good it's scary" | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "The best thing about the movie (...) is the way it teases and intrigues us with the revelation of what’s on that tape" | POS |
