I've seen it. It's pretty good but since I saw the English version first I kinda preferred it more than the original. But I watched the other movies in the Ring Series, and some of them were pretty freaky. Like the one where Samara is still alive and how she died. eek.gif

yes, The Ring/Ringu was the first one. Later there was a sequel to it called Spiral but it bombed so they made a new sequel called Ringu 2, followed by Ringu 0: Birthday. Plus I think the movie was based on a book and then turned into a TV show and now I heard there are some Korean remakes of the Ring.

When I watched the original Ringu for the first time, I proper $hit myself. At the time I just relocated for a new job, and my flat had no furniture so I was watching the movie in the dark on the floor and throughout the movie I was checking behind me. I was convinced that some freaky girl was gonna crawl out from a dark corner of the flat. The scene where the girl crawls out of the TV honestly made me believe that $hit could happen.

My friends thought it was funny that a movie could scare a big guy like me icon_redface.gif , so I lent them the movie and all of them wouldn't dare turn the lights off after seeing the film. icon_twisted.gif

I unfortunately saw the American version before the Japanese one. I still thought the American one was a rip off.

The American version was still scary, but some parts of it were, IMO, cheap scary tactics that beared no relation to the storyline. E.g. with the cord through the throat...

In the Japanese version, all the scary images did bear relation to the storyline, and hence, allowed for the sequel, and the trilogy. (I wonder what the American sequel to The Ring will be like.? )


Anyway, you should see the trilogy for The Ring (japanese) it is damn scary, and the main actress in it is very pretty.

The title is "The Ring; birthday"

The Ring sucked in general, I'm sure the Japanese version is hardly any better.
