audience Reviews
, 72% Audience Score- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsI loved Ring Ring. What a funny and clever concept for a horror comedy! A relatable storyline: Recently fired coworkers try to steal the contacts from their boss only to lose the phone with all the contacts. Horror and hilarity ensue. I was truly impressed with the overall filmmaking here and the performances were fantastic. I especially enjoyed seeing Lou Ferringo in this. An unexpected great time. Highly Recommend!
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsI enjoyed this film. It is a well shot horror film with some twists. Not constrained by a modest budget, this crew and ensemble cast do a great job delivering a suspenseful thriller. Director Adam Marino does a nice job with this script. It is well shot and makes use of the locations. Some great workplace moments. Worth a watch for sure.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsIgnore the other reviews.... this film is woeful! Acting is ok but nothing happens. Pointless and boring. Avoid at all costs, you'll thank me later.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsVery original. Believable characters. Realistic dialogue. Characters reactions are true to life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAmazingly awesome! Great cast and great perspective!!
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsI really enjoyed RING RING! It's full of quirky twists and turns, that said, if quirky qualifies as attribute in the horror/thriller genre. The actors are great, directing and music are cool, too. Dark, entertaining and fun. I recommend watching it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsHey! A legit fun indie horror movie. Some people here have mentioned its comedic elements but by the time it ends, I had mostly forgotten about how the characters are set up around a somewhat humorous element...getting fired/stealing a client list from The Incredible Hulk. Sounds silly right? But no, it ends being a well shot well directed dip into the nightmares of being in the wrong place at the wrong time....specifically cause you thought you were Batman and could track down a missing phone yourself. Know too many people with weird stories like this, and someone finally made a movie about it. ha Anyway, this was a really fun horror film with slick camera work and good characters. And I'm here for it.
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsIt was fun watching an indie horror/thriller that wasn't afraid to throw in some laughs. I'd hesitate to call it a comedy in this genre bender, but I definitely got some great laughs out of it. Really well put together and a solid production with a great cast!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI liked this movie. Who hasn't had fantasies about revenge on their bosses after they've screwed you over? Ring Ring immediately sucked me in with this relatable premise: recently fired co-workers stealing the client list to try to take their business with them. After celebrating their achievement, the crew loses the phone with all of the important information, leading to another really interesting setup: trying to track down your phone's location via an app but not knowing who or what awaits you when you find it. I'm glad I've never had to track down my phone this way, but I've had enough people tell me about scary encounters where they ultimately realize that a potentially dangerous thief has taken the phone but then they are stuck in a situation where they are potentially confronting that person about it. Well, Ring Ring delves into what the worst case scenario would be for this circumstance from here. I definitely enjoyed the ride and I think you will too. Check this one out!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsRing Ring is a genre-bending blast! Features of horror, thriller and workplace comedy come together with apparent nods to Hitchcock's Psycho and Scorcese's After Hours when the lives of three Millennials clash on Halloween – all because of a misplaced phone that holds valuable stolen information. Ring Ring features remarkable and multi-faceted performances by Malcolm Goodwin (iZombie) and Kirby Bliss Blanton (Deathwish) as Will and Amber, two co-workers who fall into the clutches of a desperate loner and reluctant Norman-Bates like villain, Jacob, played to heartbreaking perfection by Tommy Kijas (L.A. Confidential). Strong supporting performances by Executive Producer, Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), as Will and Amber's hardnosed boss, Mr. Daniels, and Josh Zuckerman (CBGB), as their clueless partner in crime, Jason, round out the core of a stellar cast. The entrance of Alex Shaffer as the heartless Damien, single-handedly adds another dark, yet humorous, dimension to the film. Ring Ring is well written, and tightly edited. The pace is perfect. The humor is well-timed and well-delivered. The cinematography is beautiful. Note, specifically, the long uncut shots as Will and Amber search Jacob's house. The soundtrack is also perfect. The filmmakers appear to rely heavily on non-verbal exposition, so you have to pay close attention to what is not said. The opening sequence of the film, which shows you a day in the life of the Bates-like Jacob, has no dialogue. Many important moments in the story also appear to rely on visual clues (e.g. Malcolm Goodwin's Will invisibly eavesdropping on the conversation between others at a bar, Kirby Bliss Blanton's Amber listening to someone else tell a personal story at a 12-step meeting, a light source that seems to be a window turns out to be made of impregnable glass block, a smuggled syringe quietly falling to the floor, etc.) so this is not a film you put on in the background while you are paying attention to something else. If you do, you'll miss many of the important pieces that tie this film together - sometimes after the fact. The filmmakers appear to hold back information, both visual and verbal, so that once you have them you have to re-evaluate what you just saw in light of the new information. Seriously, turn off your phone and watch. Kijas's Jacob is reserved and gentle, until he isn't. Goodwin and Blanton are two of the best faces to watch on screen, with each having seemingly unlimited, visually expressive abilities. So much so that a hearing-impaired person, or a person who doesn't understand English at all, could still enjoy this film. Blanton's work in this regard is deceptive though. Amber appears to have no filter, but that doesn't mean she's not setting you up for a surprise. Ring Ring has many surprises. It is a thoroughly entertaining experience.
