Very suspenseful and unsettling film that stands the test of time. A 20th anniversary Best Buy steelbook was released Oct 2022 and is a great collectors item. The Ring emphasizes lyrical storytelling with repeating images and motifs and reverberating themes. There is also a linear detective story taking place at the same time. There are shocking images and very dark ideas. All this makes for a horror film that makes sense but also has artistic elements that are quite thought-provoking.
Part of the story incorporates the concept of projected thermography, or thoughtography, the process of capturing images from the mind directly to film. It is a very interesting aspect of the story that makes sense if you read a bit about it.
Highly recommended.
