Omar Harris Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Has anyone who watches Japanese movies, besides anime, seen this movie? If so, is it as scary as people say? And who here is going to see the American version that is on the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflection Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 To tell you the truth, I only watched like an hour of it. Kinda boring...Maybe I'll see the American version, hopefully that would be a million times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Matt Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 [color=red][b]It looks like a very freaky movie. I have not been really scared by a movie in years. Maybe this one will finally scare me. :)[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorykoAngelcry Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]While I am not too sure who has seen the previews or read any reviews, this movie looks . . stupid (that may be a bit harsh). . . The story from what I have read/seen, is that there is this tape, that if you watch it, you get a phone call that says you are going to die in 7 days. Ummm. . . now I may be selfish at times, and even if I WAS going to die, I am pretty sure that I would just break the tape O.o or is that too high of intelligence for Hollywood? Oh, I am sure I will be forced to see it someday, and that it might be a better movie then what I am leading people on to believe *shrug* sorry. As for the Japanese movie - I have never heard, nor seen it. . so I can't make any judgement off of that. On a more irritating side note - did anyone remember the commercials a few months back that were airing? They had the picture of an eclipse or whatever - a ring - and there was this background voice saying, 'before you die, you see the ring. .*lower voice, echo if you will* the ring. . the ring' . . . I saw those. They gave NO plot, NO mention of it was a movie, a joke, a hoax. . NOTHING. . just a couple quick flashes of scenes from the movie ->(I came to find out later it was a movie - I am not contradicting myself). Anyways, later on, they start showing longer previews, still. . little knowledge is given, besides that it is a movie. NOW, like a few weeks before release, I watched a trailer in a movie, and find out the point. What a dissapointment =/ Oh, I am shutting up now, that is enough complaining for me tonight ^_^ . . . lol, sorry if I offended anyone who is really looking forward to this movie.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflection Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 No movie has ever scared me..Maybe The Fly, but that movie just had gross scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 My friend has watched the Japanese movie a while back...he said it freaked him out for a few days but we both think that the U.S. version might be better. But I'll give it a chance...the presentation looks creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an absolute bomb of a remake but just isn't as good... so I'm kind of interested to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormmon's Tamer Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Movie looks: Spooky, freaky, scarey, etc,etc,etc. I want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I thought there was a Japanese version if this movie, because I thought there was a game of the same name based on it. I'll have to check it out. I have no real knowledge of the US one... Comments by reviewers comparing it to Rosemary's Baby are raising my interest in it, but probably not enough to go see it at the theater. Never know though.

Sephiroth Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I thought the original japanese version of The Ring was really good, the sequel was good also I'm still going to watch the US version of it since a friend told me it has extra scenes to the tape and such Sadako is awesome!

wrist cutter Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I saw the American version today, I must say it was good. Worth the money. I thought the name change was kind of ridiculous though... how is Samara anymore normal than Sadako? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
