It served to greatly amplify the feelings of encroaching dread and utter terror that inhabit this film, which stars Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, David Dorfman, Brian Cox and Daveigh Chase.<\/p>\n<p>And, without a doubt, the score is a big part of why this film is now considered one of the first true masterpieces of horror of the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at $69, <a href=\"http:\/\/sfsymphony.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">sfsymphony.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"Naomi Watts stars in the 2002 horror film &quot;The Ring&quot; (film still courtesy of San Francisco Symphony).\" width=\"1967\" data- src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sjm-l-ring-02-XXXX.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"13133713\" \/>Naomi Watts stars in the 2002 horror film &#8220;The Ring&#8221; (film still courtesy of San Francisco Symphony).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Horror movie fans still cherish \u201cThe Ring,\u201d the creepy 2002 American supernatural thriller that centered on a mysterious&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496042,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[184,7,7974,2644,1924,1533,330,100,3743,395,101,396,103,102,104,106,105,94685,420],"class_list":["post-496041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-bay-area","tag-california","tag-classical-music","tag-concerts","tag-film","tag-keywee","tag-music","tag-news","tag-nightlife","tag-peninsula","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-county","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-social-alert","tag-things-to-do"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
