I saw it in HK in Feb. I fell asleep 7-8 times, and did not understand the language, yet i was scared sh1tless by the end

You're right. I would definitely rather see a teen slasher flick than sit through that garbage again. While slasher flicks are stupid and instantly forgettable, you can't deny that they are fun as hell to watch with friends.

And how did I lose? Oh, you mean the two hours of my life that I lost by watching this lameness. The tone and pace of the movie kinda reminds me of The Mothman Prophecies which, incidentally, sucks too.

Originally posted by k.k.d. oh, and of what "effects" in the original you were talking? There was NO special effects whatsoever in the original movie (Unlike in the remake), the movie being a pure pillar of genious cinematography and ambience... Geez

***SPOILERS***
Well, I guess I don't mean special effects. I'm referring to the scene where the reporter chick (I think, or her ex) is down in the well and she sees Sadako rise up out of the water. Admittedly, this part of the movie is pretty creepy initially, but then she peels her scalp off to reveal the skull underneath. The skeleton figure had all the realism of a sock puppet. It's a minor gripe, but this scene caused me and my friends to laugh our asses off for a good minute or two. That was a little too cheesy, even for a 1997 foreign film.

k.k.d., don't take my comments personally. I'm just offering an alternate perspective to this movie, for the benefit of those that want to hear all sides of the story. It isn't my intention to offend anyone. I just want people's expectations of this movie to be realistic. I watched this movie with really high expectations, thanks to a friend who was hyping it up as the greatest horror film ever, better than Exorcist (YEAH RIGHT!!! BLASPHEMY!!)! Of course, I was bitterly disappointed. I just don't want the same to happen to anyone else. I mean, if someone comes up in here and reads your post where you mentioned that this movie was godly, they might be expecting to see something that they're not gonna get.

And to everyone, remember that I'm just talking about the japanese version of The Ring. Haven't seen the American version yet.

Peace out late.

Ummmm.... I didnt like it and except for the typical cue LOUD SOUND i didnt really jolt at all. I see way to many movies and my friends and i ragged on this one a bunch just got to cheesy at the end. Did like the dirrecting tho

So what exactly is this film about?
From what I've heard, it is some b grade asian horror flick.

I just saw it, the opening scene, was prolly the scariest....the rest of the movie wasn't as scary as it was creepy/thrillerish. The end was kinda lame...but scary still, but yeah.. the girl in the closet made the movie 100x scarier than if she wasn't in the closet, same with the girl in the tv, when she comes out, and is far away, and then just teleports over...kinda creepy
