The film The Ring is a mainstream horror film. This film has many clichés included like, watching a video or DVD that could potentially kill you, answering the phone afterwards when they are only going to tell you that they are coming for you or that you are going to die, there are also two teen girls alone in a big dark house, massive cliché! within the opening two minutes we find out that these are the stereotypical annoying american girls that are in nearly all horror movies and they most probably deserve to die as the audience depict that these people are just plain stupid and will most probably die within the first 15-20 minutes of the film. The tension does however capture the audience's attention that something might jump out or happen, what we are all expecting to happen is that a mangled girl with long hair is going to jump out and kill them both when instead the TV turns on which still freaks us out just a little. Within the first 2 minutes of this film one of the actresses tells her friend about a video, and if you watch the video you get a phone call telling you that you are going to die in 7 days, then yes sure enough they die. We aren't sat under the blankets just yet as it is just banter between friends until the story takes a slight twist when it turns out the girl's friend had indeed watched it the previous weekend, we are now expecting her to die pretty much any time soon. Every little thing that now happens after that statement is building suspense, like when the phone rings the music builds up making us believe that its going to be 'the phone call' but it was her mum, things do start to get eerie however when the TV starts turning itself on with the video on, when she turns it off, it turns itself back on again and then freaky things start happening to her, all the while her best friend is nowhere to be seen. I haven't seen this film yet but the opening does indeed intrigue me and makes me want to watch the whole film, you could say the opening 2 minutes is a 'teaser' for the whole film.
