I saw this tonight and it was so in' brilliant!! You have to see this film it is truly freaky. Most movies don't scare me but this one had true originality and a complex plot that will play with your head.
It's a perfect 10 on my list. What did you think? |

| IMHO, the original japanese version might pretend to that title (atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere!!!)... Americanized ring is just too hollywoodish / useless special effects to be scary in any way... It is a nice movie, but lacks the suspence and thrill of the original.. :( |

I haven't seen the american version either, but i saw the original japanese version about 3 years ago w/ chinese subtitles and my friend translating as the movie went along, and i STILL thought it was the scariest movie i'd ever seen!!!!! Like seriously for I wasn't right for a few days.... the japanese know how to do scary movies.
Don't see the sequels tho, i heard they were all done by different directors 'n trying to cash in on the success of the original "ring" in japan.... all my friends say they suck. |

Ringu - the original japanese vesion, rapes american version any time of day... Sadoko owns you!!! Based on the novel "Ring" - 1997
Rasen - the sequel to Ringu, which was a total flop, and the producers pretend that it did not exist... Based on the same-titled novel.. I have not seen it, since it's so craooy, it's impossible to find/dl - 1997
Ringu 2 - the "official" sequel of Ringu... Ties in many plotholes left by The Ringu: develops the story of Sadoko and her Uncle, etc... Although this movie is good (as far as sequels go), it's still a "sequel". It's not directly based on a book.. - 1998
Ringu 0 'Rebirth' - the prequel of the ring series, it's the story of Sadoko's ill-fated love, and her death. It's more a suspence movie than horror film, and you already KNOW what will happend, granted you have seen the first two... It's interesting nevertheless - though some story choices made by directors are ed up... Based on a short story Ringu - Rebirth.
The Ring - American version of The Ring: Dreamworks have bought the rights to the story from the nippon producers, and made their own movie.. The first half of the movie is really close to Ringu, the second part is completely invented by scriptwriters/producers of this version. Special effects really killed the mood of that movie, but it's still a nice watch.. Better than teen horror fliks.. :)
Ringu Series - There are 2 or 3 miniseries out in japan which are the reproduction of the story on Ringu / Rasen / Loop books.. The main hero there is male (and not a female) reporter, and Sadoko is a hermaphrodite and not a "girl"... There is no appearance from reflective surface/screen/whatever involved - people die of a simple "Sadoko" virus... Haven't seen those myself, and not quite in mood to see them either...
Hope that clears up for you what versions there are... Happy watching.. ;) |

I was disspointed in this film, I agree that the 'atmosphere' of a scary movie is what I really look for.. I found this movie dragged in too many parts, and some of the plot I didn't like..
It had the potential to be so much better, so that makes me ask where the hell can I see the Japanese version?? I would love to check that one out, I'm sure I'll enjoy it way more :) |
