Have you heard about this podcast that when you listen to it, it KILLS YOU?? Well here we are, back again, tempting fate, bringing you another episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show. This week we’re putting on our research hats and watching creepy, unmarked video tapes to raise the ire of little girls in dire need of a haircut. No, it’s not a weekend stuck in the basement with your weird cousin, it’s 2002’s The Ring!
Join Clay and Amanda as they fall down the well of Haley Faux Osment, horse suicide (a first for us, and honestly…is there another?), Tina Belcher’s bedroom, Pop Up Face Inaugural Hall of Fame Class: Samara, green green sadness, and benignly questionable parenting.
From Wikipedia:
The Ring is a 2002 American psychological supernatural horror film directed by Gore Verbinski from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, and starring Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox, David Dorfman and Daveigh Chase. It is a remake of Hideo Nakata’s 1998 film Ring, based on Koji Suzuki’s 1991 novel of the same name. The plot centers on Rachel Keller, a journalist who must figure out a way to escape death after watching a cursed videotape that seemingly kills the viewer seven days after viewing it.
The Ring was released theatrically by DreamWorks Pictures on October 18, 2002, and received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising the atmosphere and visuals, Bojan Bazelli’s cinematography, Verbinski’s direction and Watts’ performance. The Ring was a box-office success, grossing $249 million on a production budget of $48 million, making it one of the highest-grossing horror remakes of all time.
So take some freaky face photos, scare a horse on a boat, take a powerstrip bath, bury all your secrets under a crappy cabin, and watch some creepy creepy videos with us…if you dare!
