To everybody
I just watched the ring last night, and I have to admit, it was pretty spine-chilling for many reasons. One of the main reasons I was scared was because of what all of you guys said earlier...the dreadful atmosphere. It was always raining, and throughout the movie they showed several scenes of darkened hazy clouds rushing across the horizon in a fast speed motion.
ALso, like STingy said...the imagination was left up to me in the end...I was not sure what was going to happen next. As I opened the dvd player after the movie I asked myself...WIll the killer keep killing? WHat is going to happen to the mother and boy? Will they die or what? As I played this out in my imagination, I basically feared the unknown.
The plots were sure suprising in that movie which left me "on the edge of my seat" the entire time. For one, that girl walking through the TV shocked me so much, I actually screamed and woke everybody up thinking I was on an LSD acid trip again. I had to shut off the TV for a few mins to regain my consciousness. If that movie wasnt for those elements of dreaded atmosphere, shocking terrifying plots, and the unknown, it would have been a PURE mystery movie without any horror in it. I am going to watch the Ringu Jappy version and compare it there. Was anybody as shocked as I was in that The Ring movie or what??!
