Gore Verbinski has not only made Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango and The Lone Ranger, he is also the director of the remake of the Japanese horror film The Ring, starring Naomi Watts, a great surprise that was far from being an impersonal product.

The result offers some beautiful and often terrifying images, but it is ultimately too long and not satisfying.
