Presaging the American horror shift to “the real Horror is Trauma” by a solid decade, THE RING is one of those special codexes that bridged the poppier, campier, more meta-leaning horror of the 90s and early aughts (SCREAM, FINAL DESTINATION) with the more chills-driven multiplex horror to come in the mid-aughts and early teens (THE DESCENT, THE STRANGERS, the rise of A24 and NEON). The gloss and grim together is a potent brew, and no one quite sells wide-eyed panic like Naomi Watts.

This one still hits twenty years later. Seven days!
