Samara’s Coming for You
I’ve said before that I don’t like 3D in a lot of circumstances, horror films being a major exception. When I heard yesterday that The Ring 3 would be in 3D I got a little bit excited.
3D is all about breaking down the barrier between the viewer and the film that the silver screen puts up, it should make you feel like what is happening onscreen could actually physically affect you. With a big 3D action sequence the camera angle changes so much and the 3D is so minimal it’s clear you’re not in the same reality as the film.
When a scene is framed perfectly, as in Disney World’s Honey I Shrunk the Audience, the 3D is all that more convincing. I think I’ve gone off topic…. The Ring is most famous for having a demon child, Samara, crawl out of the TV to kill her victims, what better use for 3D is there? If Samara were to appear to be crawling out of the cinema screen towards me I think I’d have a minor heart attack.
Brilliant!

I wouldn’t mind seeing her crawl out of the screen either! But, maybe it’s just me and not seeing a “true” 3D movie in the cinema yet, but they need to improve 3D somehow to make it more realistic. I never quite “buy” into the 3D and don’t get caught up in it. However i’ve yet to see a 3D horror film.
