Ring Ring

I liked it. If you're looking for something that isn't boring and moves along, it's a pretty good flick. It's entertaining and doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. I've seen a lot worse and watched until the end just for something to do.

Three likable culprits steal the client-list from the company that just let everyone go without even severance. They lose the phone with the list in it and break into the house they track it to. This house is inhabited by the son who is the only living member of his family. When his beloved mom died of cancer he put her into the basement freezer thereby enabling him to cash her SSA checks, which therefor enabled him to keep getting high and make his car payments so he can drive for Ryde. Madness ensues.

So I saw all these positive reviews for this movie and thought to myself "for an indie horror film this gets a really good rating". It's obviously fabricated.

This movie had the weakest plot I've ever seen and didn't make hardly any sense. It wasn't clever, it wasn't scary, and it sure as hell wasn't worth the watch.

This is a prime example of why you can't trust reviews anymore.

This movie doesn't even compare to the B movies made by the Asylum (Sharknado, etc). At least those movies TRY to do SOMETHING.

Ring Ring is a terrible excuse for a movie and definitely does not deserve the rating it gets...

Ring, Ring is a film about some office workers who steal a client list when they are let go from their jobs. The list is on a cellphone that goes missing. They set out to find the cellphone only to be lead to a house that they enter and become locked in by a junkie. Who's gonna make it out? This is the plot.

Let's start with the fact that this is and indie, low budget film. The filming isn't polished and while the actors aren't well seasoned, I've seen worse. The story isn't a bad one but it lacks any real amount of depth, has very little character building and there's no real reason to invest in any of the characters. It makes for a slow watch that isn't very interesting.

So, why 4 stars?

Well, I'd give it 3.5 if I could. I can appreciate the struggle of low budget film and this wasn't an unbearable watch. The actors weren't THAT bad. Some of them, maybe but the three lead characters did a decent enough job. I want to give credit where it is due and like I said, I've seen far worse.

Would I recommend it?

Depends on who asks. If you are a horror fan, you probably will not be satisfied. If you are looking for a serious thriller, you will also be left unsatisfied. If you are looking to kill some time and you can tolerate low budget indies, this might work for you. Everyone else will probably want to skip it.

Despite the very many reviews here that say this is like 'Psycho', it is nothing to with it. It is boring. It may be low budget with few actors and set scenes, but a waste of time. I would have preferred not to have seen this, and slept, done some gardening, or even gone to work.
