As good as The Ring is, it can't top the original for sheer, shivering terror.

David Cronenberg could perhaps compete with Nakata but unfortunately only lesser mortals have attempted to replicate the feeling that Reiko has plunged into something with which even her psychic powers can't compete.

Ring put the willies up me, big time.

Ringu has a minimalist intensity that can stop the heart with a simple flash-cut or a well-timed fillip in the musical score.

Cinema Crazed

While the story is engrossing, and the acting top-notch, Hideo Nakata's direction is the primary reason to watch.

Village Voice

Eschewing blood for a sinuous tone of Videodromic dread, Ring forces fear into every cut as a psychic telejournalist counts down the hours till a fatal visitation, while making a gung ho attempt to save her brood.

The finale, too, still feels as twisted, bizarre and down-right nightmarish as it did all those years ago.

Variety

Classically shot, with effective use of stereo sound effects, the movie is almost entirely free of visual horror and the usual Eastern ghost cliches, managing to suspend auds' disbelief in the hokey story through pure atmosphere.

Guardian

Ring has indescribably disturbing moments that frightened me out of my wits. But like many of the Japanese horrors that followed, it sometimes has an elliptic and confusing storytelling style that can make plot-progression muddy.

A sure, stealthy shocker which certainly primes you for the sequel.
