( Showing 1-15 of 15 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )   "As the story moves inexorably through its seven day timeframe, the picture becomes increasingly mesmerizing." -- Gregory Avery, NITRATE ONLINE   "Good ol' urban legend stuff." -- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES   "Even if it's been tailor made for Japanese schoolgirls, it still had me screaming like one." -- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM   "It's hard to fairly judge a film like RINGU when you've seen the remake first. Many of the effective horror elements are dampened through familiarity, [yet] are worthwhile." -- Brian Mckay, EFILMCRITIC.COM   "contrasting the original Ringu with the current Americanized adaptation is akin to comparing The Evil Dead with Evil Dead II" -- John A. Nesbit, CULTUREDOSE.NET   "This is an extraordinary film, not least because it is Japanese and yet feels universal." -- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK   No review available. -- Rob Vaux, FLIPSIDE MOVIE EMPORIUM   "If it's unnerving suspense you're after -- you'll find it with Ring, an indisputably spooky film; with a screenplay to die for." -- Clint Morris, MOVIEHOLE   "Confieso que hacía mucho que no me espantaba así, y que la escena crucial final es simplemente terrorífica." -- Alex Ramirez, CINENGANOS --  Click to read the article. -- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE   "Neither inferior nor superior to the Hollywood version." -- Bill Chambers, FILM FREAK CENTRAL   "Ringu is a disaster of a story, full of holes and completely lacking in chills. Ignore the reputation, and ignore the film." -- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE   "If nothing else, this movie introduces a promising, unusual kind of psychological horror." -- Kevin N. Laforest, MONTREAL FILM JOURNAL   "An effectively creepy, fear-inducing (not fear-reducing) film from Japanese director Hideo Nakata, who takes the superstitious curse on chain letters and actually applies it." -- Greg Muskewitz, EFILMCRITIC.COM   "...a very creepy and unsettling film ..." -- Dawn Taylor, PORTLAND TRIBUNE   "Contando com uma premissa curiosa, o filme mergulha o espectador em um clima de forte suspense, culminando em um desfecho que certamente fica na memória." -- Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA
