i got to see the ring this weekend, and it kept me on edge for pretty much the whole movie. although i'm an adult now (no snickers from the peanut gallery please) i'll still allow myself to buy into an unlikely storyline if it's a well-crafted and really creepy horror movie like this one. now i need to see the japanese film it's based on, which was so popular that not only did it spawn a bunch of sequels, but its own sega dreamcast game as well.

i really hope they don't bring the sequels over here though. too many of the great horror films have been ruined by inferior sequels (*cough* scream *cough* blair witch *cough*)
