OK but not great

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2003)

Having already seen the Japanese film previously, then going to watch the latest version of the novel The Ring, it was clearly obvious that despite the handicap of having to read subtitles in the foreign version, that was so much better. Ok it didn't spend much of the time explaining and searching for the little girl like the most recent one, but it created more suspense and used the few special effects to much better use than the American version. However, the latest one does include comedy in the form of a man in charge of video tape archives! Watch and you'll see..but remember to watch the older version too.
