RING (2002)

A teenage girl dies after she has watched a video and her aunt Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) is asked to investigate what killed her niece.  Rachel gets a hold of the same tape, which she watches and subsequently receives a phone call where a voice says, seven days.  Her research and the myths say that one will die seven days after one has seen the tape.  Rachel now has to fight time in order to not only find an answer as to why people die, but also save her own life.  The Ring is a remarkably well done film, but it is a remake after the Japanese film Ringu.  If this was an original idea it would get a higher grade, nevertheless, it is a tremendously good and scary cinematic event.
