i was dessapointed kind of, it wasnt all that scary to me, alot worse out there, but i have to say the part comming out of the tv was brilliant.

i went to see this movie because i wanted to be scared
and because i loved the original japanese film "Ringu"
but i should have remembered the golden rule of foreign film:
remakes SUCK!

i guess that a film from the director of "The Mexican" really really really should not have raised my expectations. but it was cheap tuesday and i wanted to be scared. i even dragged friends along to be my buffer against the scary girl in the well.

i thought that it was just me. that seeing the original was preparing me for whatever was making most of the theatre jump, but my friends weren't scared either. actually everyone was pretty disappointed.

i think that i'll just stick to being a film snob, where horror movies are seen for comedic relief and hollywood is almost avoided completely.

I thought it was creepy because I believe in spirits and the supernatural.

If youdon't then I guess it isn't as good.

I thought it was good!

It made me jump quite a few times, and I'm not an easy scare!

I didn't think it was "scary" per se, but it was creepy and that's all that matters. I don't think the idea was to make people scream and cry, or else they would have used different techniques and it would have been more graphic than it was.

All in all...this was probably the best "scary" movie to come out for a good long time...GO SEE IT!

u kidding? that was by far the cheesiest part. i thought it was the scariest movie id seen.. but i laughed out loud when she started climbing out.. that was such a twilight zone rip-off. the director used a lot of cheap tricks effectively, e.g. when someone jumps out and goes AUGH! but its really just a normal person

i hear in most of the showings, and i saw it, the audience laughed thru the first 10 minutes. really annoying, but because its like any typical horror movie.. though the intro was definitely terrifying, then you see the girl curled up and its like... k im not going to sleep tonite

ARGH.
i think just the tape itself was pretty damn scary

Well I thought it was fucked up. Who thinks of this shit? But I thought that the freakiest part was the fact that in the beginning that girls friend watched the chick come out of the TV and kill her. Well, that's what I gathered cause she goes crazy. Now I don't care, even if you thought the movie wasn't scary, if you watched that happen to a friend you'd be fucked up good after.

I totally agree, the tv part was cheesy. I suppose people didn't expect it, that was the only part that I expected. The girl curled up was fuckin freaky. My god, that is the best party. Also, the video part was scary. Just cuz you didn't know what was coming and the black and white imagery adds to the effect.

added with the music and the closet girl
that was classic
as for the tape, that was just plain ol freaky!

I read the reviews for the Japanese version 'Ringu', and they sounded very creepy, creepier than The Ring. They also made another 'Ringu 2'
Does anyone know where I can find a copy?
