I owned the DVD copy of this movie and there's a hidden selection on the menu screen that allows you to view "The Tape". When I was living with my girlfriend (at the time) and her aunt and cousin, we watched the movie and I said to them when it ended that there's a hidden menu option. I didn't tell them what it was but I showed them. Just as it was about to end, I reached into my pocket and dialed the house phone. Once the video ended I hit "Send" and the house phone rang. It scared the shit out of them. I thought it was hilarious. LOL!
I love the mood and color palette of the ring, the whole movie seems like it happens on a rainy day, like once you watch the film the weather changes to the weather on the island where samara lived.
Its a really lovely film (except for that horribly contrived ending). I love watching it on a rainy day. This film and The Day After Tomorrow are my go to films for a lazy rainy afternoon.
Yes I'm happy other people noticed that. The color palette thing because I loved it. It really locked your eyes into the film. It made everything unique and gloomy
That's because Samara is destined to be a destructive force. She was human but something evil possessed her. I believe she was aware of this and that's why she speaks with her mother as a baby asking her to kill her before it's too late. But it's actually too late. So Samara is the tragedy that comes when nobody listens, nobody sees, nobody wants to know. She is the darkness that comes with pure abandonment. And she is the result of an extreme suffering. Her mother was raped. Story tells that when she came something evil possessed her. So it's like a consequence. Samara is a curse and she can't change it. She won't. Sorry my bad english
Samara is one of the best supernatural horror villains in my opinion. This remake and Japanese horror always have this melancholic feel to there atmosphere.
@@mieshocked1450 No film today when it comes to supernatural horror has made me feel as tense or as much overwhelming dread as The Ring and it's Japanese original all those years ago.
@@Stormwing100 I love it, my favourite horror movie this is not just generic serial killer movie where is blood, guts and more blood. There is deeper story behind this and it os melancholic feeling movie and there is atmospheric soundtrack.
We don't talk too much due to fear of getting Phone call (Tamara she she always wanted to be heard) I ain't made Photo copy of the video 😥😧😉😃😃😂 Love Hanszinmer frm India 💝
So I watched this movie again, after three years, this time in 1080p and in a decent television. Well... for me, this is the best horror movie ever made. Why? Not only because of the amazing soundtrack, but because of its ambientation. The green and cold color palette. The mood. It is perfect. This movie is not about jumpscares, dumb teenagers getting killed or cheesy dialogues. No. The entire story is about this tape that kills you after you watch it. But why? Is there a demon or a monster that comes out from the tape? No. There is just this little girl, with strange abilities and an neverending rage. She suffered like hell for seven days - in the dark, in the water, in the cold... no food, no nothing - before she finally died, and now she wants you to witnesses her suffering and taste it (but it is your choice). I see the tape as a form Samara found to spread what happened to her, since no one ever found out the truth. But, since she is a ghost possessed with rage, her goal is to avenge herself against the world, I believe, and that is the reason why even though Rachel discovered everything about what happened and found her at the well, she couldn't rest. Cuz she can't, she don't want to. OBS: I kinda love Naomi Watts too. She was damn beautiful at this movie.
You said everything on my mind. I love the cold colour palette, I love how Zimmer's score emphasizes Samara's sadness instead of being monster music, and yeah, this movie introduced me to my crush on Naomi Watts.
I love it when horror doubles as a tragedy. Quite a few classic works of horror, such as Frankenstein and ghost stories, have something more than just a scary monster and deaths. They have mystery, and they have an aura of sadness. Almost as though it is bringing the reader to the lowest depths of the world: the saddest and the scariest. And this soundtrack captures that wonderfully.
forever my favorite horror movie. just love the atmosphere around every single scene, the constant raining, the darker shades, the story itself... everything. and the excepcional soundtrack of course. i just cant get tired of it (i might have watched it so many times it doesn’t even scares me anymore hahha)
It really is beautiful and very underrated. I remember staying for the end credits because it's where they put the entire score. It's hauntingly captivating.
I remember when this movie came out. I was in college and I didn't bother seeing it in theaters because I thought the premise sounded so incredibly stupid. Fast forward a couple of years when I was in a video store (remember those?) and I saw the DVD in the $1 bin. I bought it on a whim and watched it alone. At the time I was working as a caretaker of sorts of a huge, completely empty dorm that may or may not have a haunted room. I was TERRIFIED. Great movie to this day! Great cinematography, music, acting, everything.
Hans Zimmer is a freaking GENIUS! It's incredible how this man captured EVERY MESSAGE from The Ring and converted it on his score. 0:00 A sweet piano music, eerie, melancolic and beautiful the same time, with a slow rhythm. I can imagine the urban legend that runs in the movie, people talking about a killer, mysterious videotape, and the unlucky people who dare to watch it will find their fate, if they can't find the way to avoid the curse's ending. 0:41 Then we have the same melody, but now it's a extraordinary and flawless orchestra, that captures every single feeling we have as we're watching the movie: the fear of what's behind the curse, the sadness of the story behind it and the pessimism conclusion the movie takes, making it clear that the curse will NEVER stop netherless Samara wants or not. 1:54 And now the chaos. Because Samara's fate is not only "sad", it's also chaoticly depressive. The unnatural force inside of her that keeps her existence is taking control of her mind and making her more and more mad. After all the horrible things she had to pass through, including Anna Morgan pushing her inside of the well, her evil powers are still with her even when she's dead, making her angry and desperate to take all the pain she felt upon us, humans, with a happy, normal lifes. Her powerful, chaotic habilities are taking control of her own mind, driving her to madness, and destroying *everything* it touches. 3:28 Ironically, the chaos disappears and its replaced by a calm, beautiful melody. Probrably when Rachel is running behind the truth about the tape, discovering more and more about this crazy fact that seems to be little, but it's actually a BIG new (and dark) step to humanity. Especially the moment 4:00, it reminds me about Rachel's time running against her as she has few days to save her son, Noah and even herself. 5:11 And now the dark comes back. Deep, powerful, intimidating, that turns into a desperately beautiful, (almost a screaming lament) violin melody and changes time from time its instruments (sounds). I believe this makes mention of each part of Samara: the sweet, innocent little girl, lost in pain and isolation, faced as a beast by everyone else including the animals and her adoptive father. But there is also the evil, unholy and demoniac force that keeps Samara part of our reality, a maleficent force that makes her powers awake and are beyond Samara's own control. And, finally, the ghastly vengeful child, unsure of her own reasons and horribly mad about everything that happened to her, even her own birth, being consumed by her own rage, suffering and despair. 7:10 this beautiful choros looks like the humanity itself, desperate and hopeless with the birth of a weakless demon girl, crying for help. Basically "the science, the police, God... anyone, can ANYONE help us now?". It's apocalyptic. 7:20 And the ending of everything. Samara is sweetly singing, showing her melancolic, pessimist vision about the world, the humans-beings and herself. Her sweet voice together with a creepy lonely piano, gives us the conclusion that she gave up of trying to be wanted, loved and normal, as she was doing with the Morgans. She gave up of trying to be a normal human, and she acepts to be the evil, demoniac threat against our nature. 8:11 of pure perfection. The Ring is 1:55:16 of *pure perfection* in every way possible.
Why is samara mean to me she is real I'm close to God and I know she is real I'm heartbroken becous of what happens to her and she knows that I told her why is she mean to me when I love her I'm not against her why
One time I watched The Ring. Seven days later, I was at a house party. As soon as I realized that it had been seven days since I watched it, the hostess, who has dark hair, came from behind the TV. Scared the crap out of me.
The chilling words we hear Samara sing (like the song itself, starts kind of innocent & becomes dark and describes her evil intentions) , at the end of the song: Round we go The world is spinning When it stops It's just beginning Sun comes up We live and we cry Sun goes down And then we all die
Around 10 years of my life I was scared of the darkness, i was scared entering the bathroom, kitchen at night, even I scared to look at a morror I was imagining Anna Morgan brushing her hair, what an impact this film made on my life
I understand you, Ousama. I was 5 years old the first time I watched The Ring. I was terrified and became just like you. Scared of the darkness, scared of entering the bathroom alone.. but I was a child so I think it's somewhat understandeble. Since that day, I watched the ring several times between the ages of 5 and 10 to surprass the trauma.
After all these years, this is still my favorite horror movie ever, and Hans Zimmer's score complements the film beautifully. This piece feels like it mirrors the pace of the movie; it builds up slowly, starts out calm and ominous, just haunting enough, then it gets fast-paced and urgent, only to go full creepy at the end. This is an underrated masterpiece.
I saw this movie a few months on a rainy, dreary day. It disturbed me. Beneath the surface horror of it, it really is a tragic story of how a family can be ripped apart by darkness.
Good assessment. I felt the same way. Samara, no matter what her origins are (which have never been 'officially' explained), whether they be demonic or she is merely an evil human being (not unheard of either, sadly)....she still makes for a terrifying villain. I actually felt for the family here, even though its of course fiction. The same with the Creed family in Pet Sematary: There was something so sad about the destruction of a nice family by evil.....and sometimes by evil CHOICES.
Remember watching this movie in the 8th grade when it came out. Bought on DVD a few years ago and finally sat down to watch it again, surprisingly still holds up. Love the cinematography, music and acting (especially Naomi Watts). The sense of dread is captured quite nicely. Hope the new movie does this justice.
well it actually does copy his score, I lied. I just assumed he wasn't involved cause he wasn't credited but i watched the movie and the music is actually really well done, even if it's mostly copied.
Yeah... Could you please tell actress Naomi Watts that I want her to be in STAR MUSICAL(70 women) and ONE man, ME Sid Casanova, for Star Wars 10: A Lost Jedi and Star Wars 13: The Force Expansion... thanks...
"Lord of the Rings: the fellowship of the ring" won that year i believe, but this should have. the fact Finding Nemo was nominated that year and this wasn't tells you all you need to know about those people.
I totally agree. Just those two minutes gives me chills and tells the audience exactly what kind of a movie it is and how they should feel. Hans Zimmer is my favorite movie composer.
This is just my most favorite melody of all the melodies I have heard. I cannot compare anything to it, I like a lot of different melodies, but this one is just the one that I will never ever forget. I get this strange feeling of nostalgia whenever I hear it...
The Ring is the kind of movie I want the upcoming Pet Sematary film to be. Gloomy, psychological, and relying more on an atmosphere of dread and despair than jumpscares. EDIT: Welp
The subtlety of the original Ring is mirrored in the main theme. It's one of the reasons Rings failed so badly to capture the spirit of this franchise.
I remember watching this movie, it scared the shit out of me. I had to sleep with lights on for a week. Very rarely movies scare me that much. To this day, I find it difficult to watch that video.
Easily Hans Zimmer's most iconic work ... SOOO very critical to the tone of the entire film, the enduring and rising dread. He's an amazing composer, but in this work he defines the importance of the right score.
0:01 - 2:04 couldn't get any more perfect than that ...starts off eerie then goes into a haunting violin piece and then pics up the paste :D just how i like it ;) *i don't know why i inserted a winky face .... so...yeah*
I remember that years ago I listened to that magnificent piece, I simply delighted in the symphony, I had a certain obsession with it, I think it marked my childhood even though at first I was afraid of that movie.
Early 2000s horror movies are the shit. I was a child when my family and I used to go a lot to a kind of a blockbuster store and I clearly remember being afraid by seeing the horror movies' posters (of course i didn't want to watch those movies but the posters were right there)
Hans Zimmer is one of the main reasons this film remains a classic to this day. One of the only amazing horror movie remakes. It’s not often that a remake is just as good as the original but this absolutely succeeds in that. Both Ringu and the Ring are instant classics that will scare generations for years to come.
En esta época no conocía a Hans Zimmer .. pero sus acordes me envuelven .. de tal manera q escucho siempre sus interpretaciones...y más estás melodías de suspenso .. hoy me considero super fan de el . Y toco el piano por el ..
Very well written; decent directing, great acting. The horror isn't immature, disturbing, sinister, or cliche. It's scary in a more serious way. One of my favourite movies of all time. I don't really care for horror movies, but this is easily my favourite horror. 9.5 for me.
Round we go the world is spinning when it stops it's just beginning sun goes up we live and we cry sun goes down and than we all die May you feel safe in this comment section.
Don't tell me....! I still have nightmares............... And I still close my eyes in one of the final scenes, when Samara appears in Noah's home, gets out of TV, comes (or better: jumps.....!) closer and closer and her hair open, revealing her eyes in a close-up...! And I still remember chills behind my head when, at the cinema, I saw Aidan's cousin's face, found dead in the closet.......... Brrrrrrrrr.............................!!!!!!!!
@@SaintCharlos Samara? Is Samara same as Sadako? Why would the name have been changed though? It would make more sense for different versions to keep the names of characters same in all of them...
Lol wow I was 10 when this movie came out. I remember watching it with my dad while my sister was at the hospital giving birth to her 1st child. It was not a good idea, I was terrified for a solid month. It's a good movie with an excellent soundtrack.
Imagine living in the 90's and having to buy the movie in a VHS tape but you realise the tape from the movie starts playing so you believe you will die in seven days but on the end, it's just a prank bro from the director.
Did you know that wells have a significant meaning in pegan cultures? i believe they hinted this in the ring 2. this movie was based off the Japanese horror movie Ringu, which I haven't seen.
The Ring and Ringu are actually based on a novel "Ring" by Koji Suzuki in which he wrote 2 sequels making it a trilogy ("Spiral" being the second sequel and "Loop" being the third) in which he wrote 2 spin-offs ("Birthday" and "S: ES") in the same world.
this score is hauntingly beautiful. I recently saw Hans Zimmer perform about a month ago and he is just so talented. there was so much talent on that stage. the girl who plays the electric cello: Tina Guo is Frickin amazing. watch one of her videos. she made a music video to the new wonder woman theme song. just omg I still can't believe that I saw them in concert.
Of course Hans Zimmer can nail it even with a horror film. Such memorable music. The movie was one of the scariest I've ever seen, and watching it in theatres as a 17 year old was an experience I don't want to remember due to how frightening it was. Left me scared for days haha.
Thats why i love thrillers ... Thrillers are my favourite . I like it more when the violin starts its so cool omg its the bedt thriller iv ever seen and in the end when the girl starts sing so beautiful ... 💗💗💗
Alexis Silvera first seen this movie when i was in 6th grade, and now i'm 25 and it does still scare the shit out of me. lol. whenever i close my eyes while taking a bath i always see the well.
I remember being an 18 year old kid watching this movie in the theater. I was with 3 other friends and my brother. When that movie ended, I legit thought I had 7 days to get my life right

I love the mood and color palette of the ring, the whole movie seems like it happens on a rainy day, like once you watch the film the weather changes to the weather on the island where samara lived.
Exactly. It's why I loved the first movie...the color palette is gloomy and grey. And it's always raining in the movie (unlike the sequels)
I’ve yet to find another film that captures this essence
Its a really lovely film (except for that horribly contrived ending). I love watching it on a rainy day. This film and The Day After Tomorrow are my go to films for a lazy rainy afternoon.

He can't do jack shit to the superhero genre and doesn't know how to score films about pirates.
In the Ring I feel a different kind of horror than other films. A strange feeling, something dark, sad and disturbing at the same time.
That's because Samara is destined to be a destructive force. She was human but something evil possessed her. I believe she was aware of this and that's why she speaks with her mother as a baby asking her to kill her before it's too late. But it's actually too late.

So I watched this movie again, after three years, this time in 1080p and in a decent television. Well... for me, this is the best horror movie ever made. Why?

I love ur explanation, i feel the same way🥰
You have right about Naomi Watts... She was beautiful in that movie... Better than 2005 "King Kong"
Ela sofreu muuuito antes disso. Os pais dela a maltratavam e nunca a amaram, em especial o pai.
You said everything on my mind. I love the cold colour palette, I love how Zimmer's score emphasizes Samara's sadness instead of being monster music, and yeah, this movie introduced me to my crush on Naomi Watts.
Well said. Classic movie. BTW the type of ghost is an onryo who have gone thru hell and out to get revenge.
I love it when horror doubles as a tragedy. Quite a few classic works of horror, such as Frankenstein and ghost stories, have something more than just a scary monster and deaths. They have mystery, and they have an aura of sadness. Almost as though it is bringing the reader to the lowest depths of the world: the saddest and the scariest. And this soundtrack captures that wonderfully.
Yes! The Japanese version of “dark water” does this very well too
Mama.
Makes sense. Traditionally, restless spirits/ghosts are products of extreme violence
forever my favorite horror movie. just love the atmosphere around every single scene, the constant raining, the darker shades, the story itself... everything. and the excepcional soundtrack of course. i just cant get tired of it (i might have watched it so many times it doesn’t even scares me anymore hahha)

Highly recommend A Cure For Wellness (2017) Same Director. Amazing Film.
people always say this about the premise. what were they expecting, a video tape that grows fangs and bites you?
Hans Zimmer is a freaking GENIUS! It's incredible how this man captured EVERY MESSAGE from The Ring and converted it on his score.
0:00 A sweet piano music, eerie, melancolic and beautiful the same time, with a slow rhythm. I can imagine the urban legend that runs in the movie, people talking about a killer, mysterious videotape, and the unlucky people who dare to watch it will find their fate, if they can't find the way to avoid the curse's ending.

1:54 And now the chaos. Because Samara's fate is not only "sad", it's also chaoticly depressive. The unnatural force inside of her that keeps her existence is taking control of her mind and making her more and more mad. After all the horrible things she had to pass through, including Anna Morgan pushing her inside of the well, her evil powers are still with her even when she's dead, making her angry and desperate to take all the pain she felt upon us, humans, with a happy, normal lifes. Her powerful, chaotic habilities are taking control of her own mind, driving her to madness, and destroying *everything* it touches.
3:28 Ironically, the chaos disappears and its replaced by a calm, beautiful melody. Probrably when Rachel is running behind the truth about the tape, discovering more and more about this crazy fact that seems to be little, but it's actually a BIG new (and dark) step to humanity. Especially the moment 4:00, it reminds me about Rachel's time running against her as she has few days to save her son, Noah and even herself.
5:11 And now the dark comes back. Deep, powerful, intimidating, that turns into a desperately beautiful, (almost a screaming lament) violin melody and changes time from time its instruments (sounds). I believe this makes mention of each part of Samara: the sweet, innocent little girl, lost in pain and isolation, faced as a beast by everyone else including the animals and her adoptive father. But there is also the evil, unholy and demoniac force that keeps Samara part of our reality, a maleficent force that makes her powers awake and are beyond Samara's own control. And, finally, the ghastly vengeful child, unsure of her own reasons and horribly mad about everything that happened to her, even her own birth, being consumed by her own rage, suffering and despair.
7:10 this beautiful choros looks like the humanity itself, desperate and hopeless with the birth of a weakless demon girl, crying for help. Basically "the science, the police, God... anyone, can ANYONE help us now?". It's apocalyptic.
7:20 And the ending of everything. Samara is sweetly singing, showing her melancolic, pessimist vision about the world, the humans-beings and herself. Her sweet voice together with a creepy lonely piano, gives us the conclusion that she gave up of trying to be wanted, loved and normal, as she was doing with the Morgans. She gave up of trying to be a normal human, and she acepts to be the evil, demoniac threat against our nature.

Hans Zimmer can do music for any movie genre. The range and talent of this man is impeccable!
The Ring and Silent Hill soundtracks are the best music in horror movie history in my opinion.
Me too
I'd like to add the first Children of the Corn up there
Saw? Dead Silence just my opinions
The Silent Hill games have good soundtracks too, especially Silent Hill 2.
The thing from Carpenter.
Ost is from Morricone and an absolute banger.
The chilling words we hear Samara sing (like the song itself, starts kind of innocent & becomes dark and describes her evil intentions) , at the end of the song:
Round we go
The world is spinning
When it stops
It's just beginning
Sun comes up
We live and we cry
Sun goes down
And then we all die
5:11 Always loved this part for being intensly ominous and foreboding. Few tracks can make my hair stand on end like this.
I love this theme. It's both frightening and despairing- a perfect reflection of Samara's character.

The most underated hans's music track.
ikr
I saw this movie a few months on a rainy, dreary day. It disturbed me. Beneath the surface horror of it, it really is a tragic story of how a family can be ripped apart by darkness.
Good assessment. I felt the same way. Samara, no matter what her origins are (which have never been 'officially' explained), whether they be demonic or she is merely an evil human being (not unheard of either, sadly)....she still makes for a terrifying villain. I actually felt for the family here, even though its of course fiction. The same with the Creed family in Pet Sematary: There was something so sad about the destruction of a nice family by evil.....and sometimes by evil CHOICES.
LOVE when the eerie violin begins to play
Andrew Diaz you mean cello
Strings
This is Oscar worthy. Absolutely breathtaking music.
Remember watching this movie in the 8th grade when it came out. Bought on DVD a few years ago and finally sat down to watch it again, surprisingly still holds up. Love the cinematography, music and acting (especially Naomi Watts). The sense of dread is captured quite nicely. Hope the new movie does this justice.
Lets be honest; it won't at all. I mean she attacks a plane! A PLANE!!!
I'm tired of these MOTHERF----- ghosts on this MOTHERF----- plane!
The new movie doesn't even have Hans Zimmer score, says all you need to know about it.
+Jeremy Gunn I did think the new film had a nice score even though it wasnt made by Hans
well it actually does copy his score, I lied. I just assumed he wasn't involved cause he wasn't credited but i watched the movie and the music is actually really well done, even if it's mostly copied.
Wow it is so beautiful and haunting... Deserves an oscar or something!
Rachel Berry don't be scared I realized that song how you play it
Yeah... Could you please tell actress Naomi Watts that I want her to be in STAR MUSICAL(70 women) and ONE man, ME Sid Casanova, for Star Wars 10: A Lost Jedi and Star Wars 13: The Force Expansion... thanks...
Florence M. I agree with you for the fact that it's haunting!!👍👏 I'm listening this in the oscurity!! Sorry if I made many errors but I'm not English!
This score is damn creepy and very disturbing to listen
hello
The ending... round we go the world is spinning when it stops it's just beginning Sun comes up we live and we cry Sun comes down and then we all die
Should have won for best score and it wasn't even nominated.
That's maddening
It's such an underrated score...
And he didnt played it in his concert on Prague u.u
@@IvanTokis
Damn.
"Lord of the Rings: the fellowship of the ring" won that year i believe, but this should have. the fact Finding Nemo was nominated that year and this wasn't tells you all you need to know about those people.
*3:59** The best part ! 😍😍😍*
i agree i just cameto listen this part of the song ... its the best
Me too ❤️😊👍
Hans Zimmer is Genius. What a legendary theme
3:28 - 5:30 is the most memorable part of this theme.
I totally agree. Just those two minutes gives me chills and tells the audience exactly what kind of a movie it is and how they should feel. Hans Zimmer is my favorite movie composer.
hans zimmer is undoubtedly a musical genius.his music takes me through worlds.
Hans Zimmer's like King Midas… Everything he touches becomes gold.
This is just my most favorite melody of all the melodies I have heard.
I cannot compare anything to it, I like a lot of different melodies, but this one is just the one that I will never ever forget. I get this strange feeling of nostalgia whenever I hear it...
عاصمي ولد ربط are you slow?
This is my favourite horror movie. I remember when i was a child, and my parents bought this movie. i could not sleep 3 days
The Ring is the kind of movie I want the upcoming Pet Sematary film to be. Gloomy, psychological, and relying more on an atmosphere of dread and despair than jumpscares.
EDIT: Welp
It's too bad. If done right, Pet Sematary could be one of the best horror movies ever, but they've never been able to capture the essence of the book.
Unfortunately the pet semetary remake isn't very good
Ring movie timeline the ring 2 6 monts later rings 13 years later
Hereditary is the Pet Sematary we deserved.
It’s not like normal scary music themes it’s just feels ambient... cold, dark and souless.
The subtlety of the original Ring is mirrored in the main theme. It's one of the reasons Rings failed so badly to capture the spirit of this franchise.
This theme is so creepy in a beautiful way.
2:04 I love that part! It makes things more creepy and awesome!
I remember watching this movie, it scared the shit out of me. I had to sleep with lights on for a week. Very rarely movies scare me that much. To this day, I find it difficult to watch that video.
Easily Hans Zimmer's most iconic work ... SOOO very critical to the tone of the entire film, the enduring and rising dread. He's an amazing composer, but in this work he defines the importance of the right score.
Man this is Oscar-worthy work right here 🎼🎧🎻
Thank you my friend...
hanz zimmer, I love you
JZH10000 same
play this with rainy mood
+CornyTelecaster49 just did and its so scary
thanks for that :D
+CornyTelecaster49 fits the song very well
Raining blood you mean?
no, rainy mood
0:01 - 2:04 couldn't get any more perfect than that ...starts off eerie then goes into a haunting violin piece and then pics up the paste :D just how i like it ;) *i don't know why i inserted a winky face .... so...yeah*
This demonic part 5:31. I really love it!
I love the score as a whole, very haunting however for me the bit which I really like starts at 4:00
Same ✌🏻
What is the name of music?
Saaaame!!!
I love how melancholy the theme is ... and it's so easy to play and improvise on the piano too...
I remember that years ago I listened to that magnificent piece, I simply delighted in the symphony, I had a certain obsession with it, I think it marked my childhood even though at first I was afraid of that movie.
Only Hans Zimmer can create a dramatic/devilish tune, epic
The fact that Hans Zimmer composed this soundtrack. This has that Tim Burton vibe, which I like. This song is beautiful and creepy at the same time!
Early 2000s horror movies are the shit. I was a child when my family and I used to go a lot to a kind of a blockbuster store and I clearly remember being afraid by seeing the horror movies' posters (of course i didn't want to watch those movies but the posters were right there)
Hans Zimmer is one of the main reasons this film remains a classic to this day. One of the only amazing horror movie remakes. It’s not often that a remake is just as good as the original but this absolutely succeeds in that. Both Ringu and the Ring are instant classics that will scare generations for years to come.
This is so relaxing, good to listen before sleeping
bro HZ is an absolute legend. Never knew he did this movie...getting into my filmmaking journey finding out all this knowledge, this is crazy 😭.
En esta época no conocía a Hans Zimmer .. pero sus acordes me envuelven .. de tal manera q escucho siempre sus interpretaciones...y más estás melodías de suspenso .. hoy me considero super fan de el . Y toco el piano por el ..
Why is this so relaxing to the ear. The shifts in atmosphere creates a finnick thumper in my chest.
Very well written; decent directing, great acting. The horror isn't immature, disturbing, sinister, or cliche. It's scary in a more serious way. One of my favourite movies of all time. I don't really care for horror movies, but this is easily my favourite horror. 9.5 for me.
3:58 here. this is when the best part begins.
Round we go
the world is spinning
when it stops
it's just beginning
sun goes up
we live and we cry
sun goes down
and than we all die
May you feel safe in this comment section.
What a disturbing movie. No. 3 in my list, right after The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby
Don't tell me....! I still have nightmares............... And I still close my eyes in one of the final scenes, when Samara appears in Noah's home, gets out of TV, comes (or better: jumps.....!) closer and closer and her hair open, revealing her eyes in a close-up...! And I still remember chills behind my head when, at the cinema, I saw Aidan's cousin's face, found dead in the closet.......... Brrrrrrrrr.............................!!!!!!!!
it's a good list
The omen
Psycho. I mean the movie, lol. 😆
Try out Ju-on, but the original not the american reboot
I can't remember a soundtrack so haunting, cold and mysteyous, beautiful as well. What a masterpiece!
Yeah😖
Naomi Watts is my favorite actress because of this movie I can watch this movie over and over again and never get sick of it especially on a rainy day
best piece ever. this scares the shit out of me, i have switched it off countless occasions, still i come back to this. this is a masterpiece.
Girl singing at the end is haunting.
_What makes it even creepy is the fact that it's Samara singing._
@@SaintCharlos Samara? Is Samara same as Sadako? Why would the name have been changed though? It would make more sense for different versions to keep the names of characters same in all of them...
@@Juksutus This was the American version.. I guess they picked a more American name
@@Nikkibopper Oh, I see. Thank you.
I love the beginning with the Piano.
One of my favorite Hans Zimmer pieces of all time.
I love this movie, from the soundtrack, the colors are all scared and sad, I've watched part one four times and part two twice
Absolutely another H.Zimmer award deserving brilliant score!!!
One of the best soundtracks to listen to on a rainy day and I also like watching the movie on a rainy day to it really matches with the feel
Gotta repeat what some other comments stated: this is a lush, beautiful score, particularly the closing-credits portion that covers all the themes..
Lol wow I was 10 when this movie came out. I remember watching it with my dad while my sister was at the hospital giving birth to her 1st child. It was not a good idea, I was terrified for a solid month. It's a good movie with an excellent soundtrack.
I was terrified for 2 years. It took Star Wars and Final Fantasy X to help get me out of it.
This is simultaneously beautiful and haunting.
4:00 Hands down my favorite part
+Xx0Mystic0xX sounds little like the exorcist ^^
interstellar coward soundtrack has the same melodie :)
Right, has a bit of a tubular bells vibe
Yes. I absolutely agree.
The piano rendition of that lullaby is so haunting. Every so often I randomly think of it.
Imagine living in the 90's and having to buy the movie in a VHS tape but you realise the tape from the movie starts playing so you believe you will die in seven days but on the end, it's just a prank bro from the director.
this soundtrack and the feel of the movie was almost exactly like Heavy Rain for ps3
ShadowTailsFangirl Damn that's true!!!
Play this music at night and close your eyes for some time
I miss the movies from back then. They had a certain ambience. I wish I can go back in time. Almost everything was better before.
Did you know that wells have a significant meaning in pegan cultures? i believe they hinted this in the ring 2. this movie was based off the Japanese horror movie Ringu, which I haven't seen.
They’re for water you mutt
SATANICA ADORAH RIO SONORA DINAMITA They’re for drowning small children you twit.
Sweet
The Ring and Ringu are actually based on a novel "Ring" by Koji Suzuki in which he wrote 2 sequels making it a trilogy ("Spiral" being the second sequel and "Loop" being the third) in which he wrote 2 spin-offs ("Birthday" and "S: ES") in the same world.
looks like we're not learnin' anything on this thread! the anti information age.
this score is hauntingly beautiful. I recently saw Hans Zimmer perform about a month ago and he is just so talented. there was so much talent on that stage. the girl who plays the electric cello: Tina Guo is Frickin amazing. watch one of her videos. she made a music video to the new wonder woman theme song. just omg I still can't believe that I saw them in concert.
The Ring soundtrak - main theme... mis películas favoritas, de la #1 hasta la #3. saludos !
Of course Hans Zimmer can nail it even with a horror film. Such memorable music. The movie was one of the scariest I've ever seen, and watching it in theatres as a 17 year old was an experience I don't want to remember due to how frightening it was. Left me scared for days haha.
A really great horror theme for Ring, Hans zimmer is a real genius.
Thats why i love thrillers ... Thrillers are my favourite . I like it more when the violin starts its so cool omg its the bedt thriller iv ever seen and in the end when the girl starts sing so beautiful ... 💗💗💗
The end is enough to give anyone chills
Such a dark tune I love it makes the intro even scarier!!
What's up Freddy Krueger
💀💀💀💀
@@seanjohnson4475 This Music is Awesome I love how in The Middle and near The End it slowly turns into A bunch of Psycho strings
This movie freaked me out.
You're not the only one.
Alexis Silvera first seen this movie when i was in 6th grade, and now i'm 25 and it does still scare the shit out of me. lol. whenever i close my eyes while taking a bath i always see the well.
It's not even scary. Watch The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Oculus, Grave Encounters.
@samiyn You definitely do not know what a good horror movie is if you call that movie bad. That's one creepy movie. Much creepier than The Ring.
I remember being an 18 year old kid watching this movie in the theater. I was with 3 other friends and my brother. When that movie ended, I legit thought I had 7 days to get my life right
Eu me sinto puxada pra história com essa trilha sonora...De arrepiar😍
Even though the song is so haunting and chilling, is so elegant and beautiful.
1:51 melhor parte com esse violino horrendo dando a ideia de perseguição...Adoro
