My top Ten 90's movies continued The Ring (1998) My take

Another movie in to honorable list.

The Ring (1998):
There is cursed videotape being circulated. Anyone watches, they will die with in seven days. This is simple & yet effective premise for a ghost story. When a reporter investigates teen’s death involving her niece, she finds out the video tape & she watches the same tape including her son. They have seven day to decode the video tape's curse. During her investigation story goes back to decade old tragedy involving trouble psychic girl’s death. Rest of the story reporter & her son were survived the curse or not. Unlike other cheep shock based horror movies, director , Hideo Nakata, relied on right mood &atmosphere & background score for all the tension. This movie was not only great success in Japan, buts remakes were huge success in Hollywood & Korea. Not only box-office success across the globe, this movie was very much instrumental in reviving the horror genre during the late 90’s.
