Ok, I just came back from seeing it and IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!!! It's been a long time since a movie scared me this much!

Evil Chris · 11-02-2002, 03:28 PM

yeah I'd have to say the same thing...
scary stuff... lot's of unanswered questions, though.

I'd recommend it.

Zoe_Zoebaboe · 11-02-2002, 03:45 PM

Yeah, when I saw it I thought it was going to be another *Feardotcom.* *barf!* It was pretty schweat though, the last 15mins was aweseom *wait, what do you mean you let her out?* Funny stuff.

playa · 11-02-2002, 03:48 PM

After doing some research and asking around... I'd recommend the sequence of Ring, Ring 2, and Ring 0, with Rasen and Ring Virus last as alternate takes on the source material.

I'll be looking into it for sure!

.:Frog:. · 11-04-2002, 07:31 AM

Maybe its just me but I thought the Japanese version was scary and the English one wasn't.

The movies are very similar but the scene near the end with the girl is really shitty on the English version. Too fast and not as creepy.
I dunno, download the ring japanese version on kazaa then watch the English one at the theatre.

Funbrunette · 11-04-2002, 07:49 AM

I went out and got the book this weekend and it's even scarier than the movie!!! (Ring, Koji Suzuki) It's only been translated in French, but the English version should be out soon!

Wurihan · 11-04-2002, 08:53 AM

hehehe, you are talking about the US version movie...i saw that Japanese Movie 3 years ago in Hongkong....that could be called scray....between these two,i will say US version is not a scray movie at all!!!!

by the way, Janpanese name of the movie: "?è?ñ?²"£¨the ring£©

I just saw it yesterday and the movie is bad ass!! Awesome! I wouldn't say that it is a scary movie as much as keeps u in suspense....

Awesome!

Evil Chris · 11-04-2002, 09:26 AM

It reminded me a bit of "Videodrome". A Cronenberg movie from around 1980 I think...

marcu5 · 11-04-2002, 09:46 AM

im more interested in the JAP version I havent seen it yet, but I've been downloading clips of it, and reading about it.. It's a triology over there and the storie line is way different and detailed..

I hear that people actually left the movie theatre crying. I think that's pretty funny.

I guess I am going to have to get out and see it.

If the subtitles are hard to read its not fun, but if they are clear its fine.

I wrote about this last week. On Kazaa type "ringu" there is the japanese version with english subtitles (very clear video and the English words are easy to read). The file is around 690mb. Download before you go to sleep or something because it takes awhile.
Its much better then the English version.

gecko · 11-04-2002, 10:57 AM

yea the original jap version is way scarier...

Those of us actually seeking original cinema fare ;)
a lot of the Japanese movies I've seen don' even carry subtitles...but if the story and visuals are strong enough, you don't need them...
