The Ring (2002)

Before you die, you see the ring.

A journalist, Rachel Keller, investigates the suspicious death of her niece and her three friends. The lot of them died on the same day, at the same time and with looks of sheer terror on their faces.

Her investigation leads her to a cabin where the four victims has stayed a week before they met their mysterious ends. There she finds a video, which she proceeds to watch. Soon she realizes the video is cursed and all who watch it will die a week later. 

Now she is in a race against time to break the curse of Samara, the creepy little girl who made the video, or face horrifying death.

It was only a matter of time before I wrote a review of this movie. I can categorically say that this is the scariest movie I have ever seen. I've seen hundreds of horror movies and so far none of them compare. Of course, I haven't yet watched Ringu... the Japanese original on which this American remake is based. Maybe I'm in for a treat.

The movie is rated PG-13. This is because it contains basically no violence, sex nudity, or nasty language. Don't be fooled by the rating though... this movie will fuck you up way worse than any R-rated slasher flick. Plus its well acted and filmed with lots of creepy locales and scenes as well as a few plot twists to keep things interesting.

5 creepy girls in the TV out of 5
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, disturbing images, language and some drug references.
