Have you ever been curious as to where the truths behind urban legends come from?

The Ring, a new suspense/ thriller, takes journalist Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) into unraveling the secrets behind an urban legend.

At least it sounded like an urban legend to her - a videotape filled with disturbing nightmarish images; after anyone watches it, the phone will ring telling the person that they will have seven days to live.

After four teenagers, who were rumored to have seen the videotape, die on the same day at the same exact time, Keller’s curiosity and investigative side takes her to find the videotape to see if the legend is true.

Watching the videotape for herself, Keller gets a mysterious call telling her that she only has a week to live.

Her son, Aidan (David Dorfman), also watches the tape; Keller has seven days to find out the secret behind the videotape in order to save her son and also herself.

After seeing images from the videotape around her, Keller decides to find out who made the videotape and where it came from.

She gets help from a friend, Noah (Martin Henderson) who is a photography and video technician expert.

Upon reviewing the tape once more, they realized that in one of the frames was a clue to where the video was shot.

That clue leads them to Moesko Island, where the terror that had once haunted the islanders is seeking to return.

With two days remaining, Keller goes to Moesko Island to find out what is on the tape and to find out what happened on the island.

What she finds will leave audiences freaked out and scared out of your wits - or at least it did for my friends and me.

Will Keller figure out the riddle of the videotape in seven days to save herself and her son? What is the cause of the phone calls and the deaths that occur? Will it stop? See the movie for yourself to find out the answers to these questions!

I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes suspense/ thrillers. Unlike most thriller films, The Ring has a good plotline to the story. It’s psychological in making viewers think about what is going to happen next and trying to solve the riddle.

There’s not really any blood or gore to the movie, but it keeps your on the edge of your seat wondering what is happening and trying to figure out exactly what is happening behind the riddle of the videotape.

The people at the theater around me seemed to enjoy the movie as much as I did.

If you’re looking to be scared, this is the movie to see. Proof was heard at the theaters with screams and shrieks coming from people of all ages.

The Ring (2002) is based on one of Japan’s biggest box office hits ever The Ring (1998), directed by Hideo Nakata, and a series of novels, The Ringu, written by Kôji Suzuki.
