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."

Poor attempt at a horror movie. One of the most boring films I've ever seen. It did not play on my mind, make me think or make me jump.
AWESOME movie but not that scary. I suppose that the 2 part it´s scarier...
This movie sucked. I remember everyone right after it was released in theaters saying it was the scariest movie ever, what a bunch of shit it sucked
This movie scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it. Unfortunately it has been imitated so many times that people forget how well-made it is.
i love samara morgans long hair...............best horror movie ever....best movie of 2002 obviously.........

Creeps you out in high style, even if Nakata did it better.full review
At times, the suspense is palpable, but by the end there's a sense that the crux of the mystery hinges on a technicality that strains credulity and leaves the viewer haunted by the waste of potential.full review
Rarely has a more serious effort produced a less serious result.full review
At best, it's a workmanlike, passably engrossing horror flick that copies well from the Japanese original.full review
