The Ring (2002)
Directed by Gore Verbinski
Quick Hit
The Ring plays like a supernatural dread machineācreepy, dread-filled, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
The Ring leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Gore Verbinski keeps the tone creepy without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.
