who's excited about "The Ring"? extras suck though..
in my opinion, this is the best and scariest film i have ever seen. yeah there are classics like omen and exorcist and b movie films like evil dead and top hollywood films like 6th sense and of course you got the crap fest like 13th ghosts. but THE RING is the only film that creeped me out and a week later after watching it, i still am bothered of the images i've seen.
really scary though that the dvd version only has 2 extras. a 15 minute documentary and some trailers for other movies.
okay i know im not alone here and hopefully im not, but don't you just hate it when a dvd comes out all bare boned and hardly no extras just to find out that several months down the year, it comes out with a special edition or criterion collection or whatever else money making scheme dvd companies try to do and piss you off. i hate that im sorry!
so maybe out there there are some dvd buffs and super experts that know when a special edition re issue is coming out in the future for a certain film. so my question is, will there be a special edition for the RING in the future???should i go ahead and buy this or wait for a more packed dvd set? that is unless there will be none coming out for more than 1 year.

Are you talking about the remake or the original? I assume you mean the original, right?

I'm hoping so too, remake was alright, but paled in comparison to the orig.
They had to make it more 'universally accessable' so they make a hollywood one with a bigish name actress, blah, blah

the ring [the remake]
isnt too bad, ive seen the first half of it and its kinda weird, but enjoyable
p.s. dont watch it at night with ur phone next to u, after i watched the first half, my phone rang, fucking scared the shit outta me, whilst it was only a wrong number!

The remake really sucked, horrible acting and directing and uses cheap gimmicks to scare people. The original, now THAT's a classic horror film.

I saw the remake and thought it was horrible. Didn't scare me at all, and I thought it just came off as cheesy. I'll have to check out the original though, sounds a lot better.
