While I wouldn't call this the greatest movie ever made, it's not anywhere near as bad as other reviewers have made it out to be. An average rating of 5 or 6 stars would be fair, but 1.5 is harsh and totally undeserved.
Ring of Terror feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone stretched to an hour. In fact, it's so much like a TV show that one wonders if it might not have been originally created as a pilot.
If you're a fan of 1950s horror/suspense series like Thriller, The Veil, One Step Beyond, Tales of Tomorrow, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, you'll likely find this a pleasant way to spend an hour, as I did.
Normally I would only give this film 6 out of 10 stars, but because others have been panning it so unmercifully, I'm giving it a 9.
