Not being much of a horror-movie fan, myself, I have to say that I was definitely quite pleased that "The Ring" did not resort (as so many horror movies do) to grinding globs of blood, guts, and gore into my face, non-stop.
This tale of the supernatural actually contained some genuinely eerie moments that were impressively presented in a clearly restrained manner that, thankfully, didn't go overboard.
"The Ring" is a remake of the Japanese horror film "Ringu". I have now seen both of these films and (IMO) this film was noticeably superior to the original by a long-shot.
