#34 THE RING (2002)
DON'T TOUCH THAT
DIAL!
Though
Poltergeist started the whole deadly television thing 20 years
earlier, The Ring took it up a notch by featuring a videotape that
would bring death to anyone that viewed it 7 days later. At the
heart of the mystery is a strange girl named Samara who was drowned
in a well many years before. Near the film's end, she fulfills the
videotaped promise in a heart-stopping fashion. I've heard many
folks call this the scariest scene they've ever seen in a movie.
Though it certainly ranks up there, I didn't feel it deserved the Top
10 status that many folks were clamoring for. But its a nice spooky
clip that deserves notice, nonetheless.
