The ring, in my opinion, is the best novel of fear succeeded by a Japanese writer, it contains in itself a kind of different form of creepy stories: everything revolves around the story of a girl condemned by evil to life in a cursed videotape. Throughout the book the writer wants to highlight the feelings of his characters and this is that the book becomes almost a reality: the reader may feel as if he were in history. The story is linked with a continuous flow to the two books that follow it: after the events recounted the writer explains why all of this and what happens after the film is all a climax of feelings that range from quiet, even before the discovery of what happened, and then shaken to come to grief at the discovery of the girl at the bottom of the well: the author makes us understand the suffering of the child through the feelings of the protagonist, Asakawa, who has supernatural powers to the ring that has become a cult for Japanese cinema. The writer of the books has seen all three books of the saga become films for the passion that he puts in the emotions of his characters . This thing can’t be compared, in my opinion, with the transposition of the film in American cinema.
I have never seen a more frightenining film. The story starts with some people who watch a video on the tv and receve a call. When they answer to the phone, they listen a voice that tell them they will die in 7 days. And after 7 days these people really die! The protagonist is Rachel who (with her child Aidan and her ex boyfriend Noah) starts to investigate about these strange and troubling facts. At the end, she discovers that all is caused by an horrific child that was imprisoned, killed and put into a well by her mother, because she unintentionally caused misfortune to people around her. But the poor girl wasn’t died when she was put into the well, so she agonised 7 days before died, and the last thing she saw was the ring of light of the well’s cover. This film is really scary. I don’t watch many horror films, but I think this is on of the most frightened. Every scene terrifies you and leaves you without air, completely paralysed with fear. Until film’s end, you stay petrified on the armchai. And after the vision, the first time you hear a phone ringing, your heart stops beat and you remain still, with no courage to taste the green button of your phone.
Have you ever watched " Saw I"? I hate all horror or triller films,because they terrorize me,but this is a particular and interesting film. "Saw I" s a creepy story (it's filmed by James Wan) about a man,who catches all ugrateful people with their life. Everytime he designs a lot of riddles:if the victim resolvs it, she'll be free or else she'll kill.I think that it's an intresting film,because it underlines the really meaning of life. The first time I watched it I felt so frightened that during the night I read a comic story for 3hours!!I was paralysed: everything,in my bedroom,was scary!Oh my God,It was really fearful and terrible film!I won't watch it with no one! But, if a night you want to be scared, you can watch it with yours frinds,maybe during a rainy and cold night!:)
THE SHINING... I haven't seen this film, so my friend has told me it. The film tells the story of Jack Torrance who accepts a job in a hotel, where a lot of years before a man killed his wife and his two daughter. Jack's son,Danny,has terrifying premonitions about the hotel. A day the psychological problems of Jack develop themself, so he compromises the escapes for killing his wife and son. Danny and Wendy manage to escape, while Jack freezes to death in the hedge maze. I think it is a very scary film and I will never see it because I don't like the horror films and it wuold leave me paralysed with fear. If I see, it I'll be horrific, petrifying and have shivers down the spine.
"I'm of part", because for me, Stanley Kubrick was a genius. Shining is a cult of horror's movies, not only for his story, but fo the knowledge that the director put in the film. It's a film of high level for the actors, for the soundtrack, for the photos, for his intense emotional performance. Certainly Jack Nicholson gives a big contribution at the film, because is masterly in acting. Kubrick suceed to create a state of anxiety with only a simple tricycle that runs on the floor, in the huge hotel of Colorado. He creates a perfect atmosphere of expectation, so the spectator expects something ever. In general, I don't like horror films, but in this case, it's impossible to think it.
