Pressestimmen
Total Film, November 2005, review by Mark Powell: "...an absorbing crash course on the evolution of a modern cinematic phenomenon."
Kurzbeschreibung
On its release in Japan, Ringu ('The Ring') heralded a hugely popular new horror style. Successfully blending science fiction and the supernatural to chilling effect, the film's story interweaves the 'urban myth' of a cursed videotape with the threat of a virus and the mysterious death of a psychic girl. This in-depth companion to The Ring examines the phenomenon from the original novels, through their adaptations in other media and the film prequels, sequels and remakes, including the American remake starring Naomi Watts, to influences on and those influenced by The Ring. Placing the films in their cultural context and examining their cross-cultural appeal, this is the definitive guide to The Ring in all its incarnations.

Not bad, but one-sided
5. Dezember 2005
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
More appropriately, this book should be titled "Ring Companion", in reference to the title of the original film... not out of any fanboy sense of correctness, but rather out of the author's definite bias which colours the book. This wouldn't be an issue, except that the book is marketed as a companion to "The Ring" (especially via the cover graphic, which is an allusion to the American remake), while the author clearly hates that film. Thus, fans of the American version are likely to be disappointed in Meikle's coverage of that film. Meikle gives over far too often to his own critical reviews of the installments of the franchise, with the result that those items he enjoyed receive loving and detailed coverage (especially Suzuki's original book and Nakata's first movie), while all others get buried under his diatribes on the faults he found with them. This is especially evident in his treatment on the American adaptation "The Ring", where Meikle constantly adds his own snide comments and conclusions to the details he presents on the development and making of the film. His final, parting shot, "The Ring is dead. Long live Ring.", emphasizes that this really isn't a Ring "companion", but rather Denis Meikle's personal review of the franchise.

Beyond the Ring, a history of horror
13. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The Ring Companion is much more than about The Ring books, and movies. It is a history of horror films and writing both in the East and in the West. At times it reads like film theory and is extremely well researched. Where it falls apart is the personal opinion of the author about The Ring films (Japanese, American and Korean), and the surge of Asian horror films afterward. The second to last chapter that describes a large amount of these films seems to flame everyone instead of just describing them. The author becomes a critic at that point instead of a neutral observer. Having seen many of the films in question I found the flames unwarranted and petty.
