The Ring

A High school student watched a mysterious video with her friends. Seven days later, they were all dead by "unknown reason". A reporter didn't believe it because she thought it was not possible. She decided to investigate why they were all dead. Several days later, she knows there is an urban legend about this video: the viewer (of the video) will die seven days after they watching it and whenever the "victim" watches it, the phone will rings, then somebody will tell them that they only have seven days to live. She still did not believe that when she found that video tape and she began to watch that video with her husband and her son. They saw some strange intermittent screens
recorded on the video. After they watched the tape, the reporter received a mysterious phone call. The phone only came fuzzy dark words: "seven days." The reporter began to feel the air of terror around her, she only has seven days to save her husband and her son's life; otherwise she would die if she didn't unravel the reason. Seven days later, the reporter, her husband and her son were all dead because of a car accident.

I did some research on the internet and I found out that movie created a precedent for the horror movie in the history of Japanese movies (the movie was made of Japan). Some kids and teenagers said the movie was so scary and they said they knew that some teenagers killed themselves because they watched that movie. But some adults said the movie was boring. I think this movie is not very good. Although the beginning of the movie was mysterious, in the middle of the movie was a little bit boring; it tells about the reporter was trying to finding the video tape. The beginning of the movie was scared because it explained how the students was dead. The actors did good job because a lot of people like it and the actors used many advanced tachology to makes the movie scary. It should be add some scary and mystery theme. But the overall themes of the movie is good.
