Description
Who says Halloween’s over? This week, we’re revisiting a modern horror classic. Sophie Gilbert, David Sims, and Lenika Cruz discuss The Ring, Gore Verbinski’s 2002 adaptation of the Japanese film Ringu.
The Ring brought J-horror to North America, rekindled the supernatural monster movie after a decade of slashers like Scream, and gave audiences one of the best horror-movie endings of all time. But in the post-VHS and “prestige horror” era, how does The Ring hold up after two decades? Have any films since struck that perfect balance of techno-horror and ghost story?
