Anyone over the age 10 can see this film by them self. There is nothing scary about this film. This is defiantly not scary at all. Its a starter horror film. If your kid can not handle this film then dont move on to other types of horror films. Note that this is a J-Horror film so the worst part is after the film when people think that samara is right behind them.

I think it's best to just say this is the one and only movie to EVER scare me EVER, and I've seen lots of "horror" movies, you know the ones that think i'm scared of seeing a bad actor in a hockey mask stab a bunch of bad actors who you know will die because they act promiscuasly at some point during the film. This is not that. It has major psycological scares.

My dad had me all built up for some"big scary movie" ya right!! This movie didnt scare me at all It wuz supr boring to

THE scariest movie of all time. It's not for kids...not at all. But it's very good for teens who love horror films. It's not so much violent as it is disturbing. The scary scenes stay with you for a long time. Not for the squeamish or easily scared.

A good horror film with a cool concept. Gore Verbinski's style is unmistakable. He has left this work well marked with his stylistic shots, and suspenseful progression. Very creepy and a bit strange but it has a good mix of everything. psychological horror always must be sure to not be too slow-paced, because then it becomes boring. The Ring is a perfect example of what I consider a good psych-horror movie to be, because it unfolds like a mystery and keeps the viewer cerebrally involved...as it scares the crap out of them.The thrust of "the Ring" isn't only to entertain and to make shiver. It is also doubled by a reflexion on the power of the image. One of the images of the film depicts a woman in front of a mirror looking at the camera. So, she's also looking at the viewer. This is unhealthy voyeurism that the movie denounces like the insensible media which expose to the mainstream, woes and sorrows of the victims and so manipulate the viewers' fears. The sequence during which Ann Morgan's husband is incensed by Rachel's will to learn more about Samara rings thoroughly true. Moreover, these seemingly maladjusted images embody symbols: the chair and the lighthouse illustrate loneliness, the figure at the window (a hint at "Psycho"?, 1960) might symbolize parental severity. The creepiest, clammiest, twitchiest squealfest in months. Successfully envelops us in a disturbing experience. disturbing, unsettling and downright creepy.

Intense film, although not scary. It's very disturbing and atmosphere is out-of-this-world.

the is a good movie i think it should be recommended for kids 13 and up the only issue in this movie is voilence and suspense

This movie was really good! It started it of with a good plot of teens pass down a tape will kill you in seven days. The girl(Samara) will come out of tv and leave you dead. It was a good idea. I just watched Ring Two and that was a good movie too. If you like this movie i suggest you should watch the 2nd one.

Scary as HELL! Watch it, but not wit the kiddies.
