In The Ring people fear the thought of having 7 days left to live after watching the cursed video tape and getting a call. That’s not the only thing people fear from this movie. They also the fear the girl that comes through the tv and climbs up and down the well. When I was younger about 10 or 11 I watched this movie for my first time. It was actually my very first scary movie ever watching. After I watched it I never wanted to watch a scary movie again. I had nightmares and was petrified of Wells and I was petrified of seeing scary people on tv thinking they would come out. Those two fears is what I’m going to base my project off of.
What I like about this work is that it actually makes me scared. I can watch scary movies and not get scared easy but this is one of the scary movies I actually fear. I fear the girl in the well and in the tv. I fear weird phone calls that I have no idea who they are. That’s what I like about this film it scares me it draws me into the movie where I cover my eyes so I don’t see what’s going on when I then look and scare myself. I genuinely like being scared and a good movie with a good scare is what I like. I also like the setting they use I like how it is a foggy field like place with the well. I think the setting is a good part of what makes the film scary. If this movie wasn’t supposed to be scary and they wanted to make it into a thriller I don’t think I would like it then. I think the main reason why I like this movie is because of the ways they chose to make it scary.
If you were to change the setting you’d have to change some of the main ideas. The setting is more in a town that is more spread apart. There’s more land and it’s more out in the country area. If you lived in a more closed town where houses are closer and you have city water instead of a well it wouldn’t work as well. I think changing the setting would make the story not so good anymore.
In the film The Ring I wonder how they came up with the story line. I wonder how they just sat there and thought about what they want the film to be based on and how they came up with it. To me I want to focus on the horror they put into the film and how they went among it. Like how they did the phone call and saying they only have 7 days to live and the teenagers dying. Also the videotape they watched that made this all happen. I’m interested in the ways they chose to make this a horror film and the ways they did it. I’m glad I chose to do this film as my project. I have enjoyed watching the film over and over again to get more out of it each time. It’s an excuse to watch movies all the time especially on snow days!
