I always found The Ring extremely creepy. The neverending gray sky drizzle helped keep it that way. I was so scared the first time I saw it I had to keep taking breaks stopping and starting it to recover from what I assumed was some sort of heart attack. My kids terrified me for months pretending to crawl out of television sets just to hear me scream and they would call me and whisper... well u know what they whispered. I loved all the iconic pieces of this movie and once they're in your head you can't shake them loose: a ladder, the horse getting churned up by a propeller, the tv in the tub, suicide, hairbrushing, mirrors, chairs. Pretty great stuff.
