Scarier than Ringu!

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2005)

I had read comments about how the Ring wasn't as good as Ringu from people who saw Ringu first and having watched the ring first, I thought the Japanese one was not scary at all. The suspenseful sound effects and music were more effective in the American version to make it creepier where as in the Japanese one, there was a smooth transition to when the death scenes came out. The decayed faces on the dead victims were scarier than the ones in the Japanese version. Also, I thought the ESP in the Japanese version was kind of lame. I thought the revelation of the story at the end was better made in the American version. The American film is superior!
