<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>they are two very different movies...you really can't compare them. I doubt this movie's going for the "wet your pants scared & paranoid" effect that The Ring was...at least I hope not ;)</div>

If I want to see a movie, reviews won't effect that, but they can take away from the enjoyment. I'm willing to gamble that I'll see some bad movies because the payoff on the good ones is worth it.</div>
