Halloween Day 5: The Ring (2002)

After her niece mysteriously dies, a reporter sets out to find the cause. On her way, she discovers a tape that, when watched, gives you seven days to live.
It makes a lot of sense that this film was directed by Gore Verbinski. As Japanese horror remake, it serves its purpose well. Its a pretty good film, markedly free of jump scares like other, more recent, remakes. The atmosphere is heavy and the dialog is worthwhile, even if it outstays its welcome. A pretty good movie.
