The Ring

It sounds like just another urban legend – a videotape filled with nightmarish images leads to a phone call foretelling the viewer's death in exactly seven days. Newspaper reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) is skeptical of the story until four teenagers all die mysteriously exactly one week after watching just such a tape.

Allowing her investigative curiosity to get the better of her, Rachel tracks down the video and watches it. Now she has just seven days to unravel the mystery.

Critic Reviews:

• " An edgy, watchable film, but one that makes you feel more squeamish than screamish. " – Richard Schickel

• " One of the most intelligent and genuinely scary ghost stories to come around in a long time. " – Alex Kaloostian

• " A very strong movie in all the ways you need a horror movie to be strong. But it is a movie that could very obviously be better. " – Tim Brayton
