Help...

Oh My God.
I went to the theater having read and heard a lot about this movie, so my expectations were pretty high.
I really almost s*** my pants. I haven't been this scared during a movie since The Others. The only difference is: The Others stops being scared when the movie's over. The Ring haunted me for at least a week. Because seven days later I actually got scared again, thinking: "Crap, at what time did I see the movie? How long do I have?" Luckily I survived.
Go and see this. Be sure to pick a date and time when the chance of being in a theater full of highschool kids is minimal. It will ruin a lot if you're a person like my who likes to "expirience" a movie. Children tend to resort to laughter when emotions get too big to handle.
I can't say very much about the Japanese original(s), but I've heard they are even scarier, so I don't know if I'll be able to sit them through...
One definite advantage the Hollywood version has though is Naomi Watts, Mulholland Drive fans, eat your heart out.
