Visually impressive thriller
The visual elements of the film are great, to be expected I guess from a director from the design industry. The lighting and cinematography adds a great deal to many scenes.
The main actors Adams, Gyllenhaal and Shannon give great performances. What makes this interesting is the main story from the novel from Susan's Ex husband and how this links and has parallels to their past and current situation. One that will have you thinking long after the credits roll.... Although I did find the ending a little abrupt. One of the best films of the last year.

Unnecessary
Did we really need another Ring film? And the answer is probably not. The first film wasn t great, the second one I couldn't even finish and I'm afraid the third doesn't fare much better.

Completely agree with Dean, this isn't a horror film it's more of a thriller. It isn't scary in the slightest and is entirely predictable. Johnny Galecki really should just stick with the Big Bang Theory and I'm highly surprised Vincent D'Onofrio was in this. Personally I just think was very disappointing, I was expecting so much more in the way of scares and creeps. The only good thing was getting more of a back story on Samara.

A flawed but enjoyable space movie
While the movie was acted well and the depiction of alien life form was interesting, the plot was quite bare. The characters didn't have enough development and had no depth regarding their relationships to each other. I liked this sci-fi thriller, though our astronauts seemed to lack some common sense and weren't as believable. The alien life form was original in design, but felt unrealistic in the power and intelligence gained in such a short period of time. The movie didn't do anything new and creative, but it was a fun film. However, the ending was predictable and kind of disappointing.

Extremely disturbing - needs a trigger warning
I've never felt so moved and violently uncomfortable /ill at the same time while reading a book before. The level of graphic psychological abuse described definitely requires a trigger warning before survivors listen because unfortunately the truth is stranger than fiction, despite many readers wanting to wave away the experiences as 'absurd' on some of the Amazon reviews.

While there were some instances that were unclear especially near the end, and slightly inconclusive in the climax, which was a bit unsatisfactory - it should be listened to as a psychological cautionary tale rather than a thriller as such. To describe it as a mystery would be insulting to those who have experienced it.
