Storyline
It sounded like just another urban legend: A videotape filled with nightmarish images, leading to a phone call foretelling the viewer's death in exactly seven days. As a newspaper reporter, Rachel Keller was naturally skeptical of the story, until four teenagers all met with mysterious deaths 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 of the Ring.

A frighteningly good horror movie with enough solid scares to freeze the blood of ardent fans and newcomers alike.

Newsweek
This visually stunning movie serves up generous dollops of designer creepiness.

Too many threads are left dangling and the movie ultimately proves too implausible to put alongside those horror classics.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
It's a workmanlike, passably engrossing horror flick that copies well from the Japanese original. When it's good, it's not original, and when it's original, it's not so good.

The movie is meant to get into you like a virus, and it does.
