Ring of Terror Audience Reviews

GazerRise Fantastic!
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Rainey Dawn This movie is anything but scary. It's not interesting throughout most of the film. The bulk of the film is purely a snore - very boring. Don't waste your time with watching this movie unless there is nothing else to watch or do - really it's that bad. There are only a couple of scenes worth watching that is the beginning and the ending - and even then the beginning and the ending is, well, quite honestly worth missing. Well, there is one more worthless reason to watch this film - just to see for yourself just how bad it really is.The only reason I am going to give this movie a 2 is because I did get a chuckle out of the sheer awfulness of the film.2/10
amosduncan_2000 The awful "Ring OF Terror" would probably be forgotten about were it not for the excellent MST show it was transformed into. Yet it is an odd genre film with a feel all it's own, a tawdry, inept, bad film to be sure. We keep coming back to the boring issue, and surely it is that. What no one mentions is the whole thing builds to a SLOW climax regarding the death of Moffit, but the crux of the whole thing is how Moffit accidentally scared himself to death, and it feels like at that point the intention was to explain how he did it (they certainly didn't explain it very well) but at that point the old cemetery narrator has to rap things up fast: the movie has wasted too much time endless scenes of unfunny comic relief, lackluster talk, and slow moving unnecessary pacing. In short, it's a casebook example on how not to make this kind of movie. Some of the actors went on to have kind of careers, which is nice. And as others have stated, this looks like it was made some years before it's actual release/escape. It does have a sense of dullness all it's own, but check out the MST3K version if you need to slog through it. And kill that guy.
Mark Honhorst The plot for this movie can be described in one very short sentence.(SPOILERS AHEAD,IF ANYONE CARES!!!) A medical student attempts to steal the ring of some dead guy's finger as a practical joke (or something, I don't really remember), gets scared,and dies. The End. I just revealed the entire movie to you, but at least I mentioned that there would be spoilers... I really don't know why anyone would have sat through this movie without MST3K. Or how, for that matter. It's just bad. Really bad. The quality of the Mill Creek 50 pack version is even worse than the quality of the MST3K version. Please, heed my warning. Avoid Ring of Terror at all costs!
mgconlan-1 I wouldn't call this the worst movie ever made (I'd save that dubious honor for "Shriek of the Mutilated," which I once made the mistake of watching on a local MST3K-type show called "Schlock Theatre" in San Diego in the early 1980's) but it's certainly right up there. Starting with the ponderous opening scene in the cemetery with that idiot narrator (who makes Criswell's contribution to "Plan Nine from Outer Space" seem brilliant by comparison) chasing his cat around the set (the cat, showing more intelligence than any of the humans connected with this film on either side of the camera, kept trying to get away), to the sequence in which the narrator gives away the entire plot (you can't write a "spoiler" about this film because the filmmakers already did it for you!) to the main part of the film in which a bunch of distinctly long-in-the-tooth actors you never otherwise heard of attempt to impersonate college students, to the soporific pacing and dialogue delivery and the fact that nothing happens until the very last few minutes of the movie, this film is just dull, dull, DULL! You keep wondering where's the ring, where's the terror, and what's the point of this film's existence. Even the MST3K crew couldn't make this entertaining, though they did have a lot of fun lampooning the, uh, "advanced" ages of the cast members.
