The Ring (Japanese Version)


Recommended Posts

So did anyone see it on C4 last night? Unfortunately I had to be up for work early and need all the beauty sleep I can get so couldn't stay up late to watch it...

 

For those that saw it, is it as [censored]-scary as I have heard it is? Is it better than the Yank version?

My mate watched it a while back after coming home from the boozer.......he said he was sh1ting himself it was that scary....

 

Personally I think he is a bit of a tart when it comes to things this like this, but I shall endeavour to take in a viewing ASAP.....

 

Is it on a par with the likes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for freakiness? scratchchin.gif

 

Not sure what the new remake of The TCM is supposed to be like either.......anyone seen it yet??

I didn't think it was that scary either to be honest......just a bit odd....

 

Like The Exorcist, not that scary, just a bit fcuked up....

 

In fact the whole urban legend about what happened to the production staff and some of the actors from the Exorcist was much more scary than the film......

 

Ever heard fo a moive call The Nostril Picker?? Supposed to be the most minging horror ever made......apparently

havent seen the english version, no one will watch it with me frown.gif and i cant watch films like that on my own

 

Neither can I!! I am 25 years old, 6ft 2in tall and 14st (bloater) but I am still a chicken with things like this....

 

I reckon its because I have an over active imagination.......or something like that....

I love horror films I do!!!!

 

The Jap original version of Ring (known as Ringu over there) is very good indeed, certain parts of it are a lot creepier than the US version (see the end sequence with Sadako!!!! shocked.gifshocked.gifshocked.gif ) But alot of the atmosphere is lost as u have to read the subtitles.

I thought the US version was still good as the subtle changes made it more accustomed to our cinema, and too had some original very scary/freaky moments!!!

 

Both worth a watch!

 

And yes they did make a sequel, called Ring 2, which is equally good. They are currently in production of remaking this as a US film too, so keep your eyes peeled!

 

There is also a Ring 0, which is a prequel, which tells the whole story of why it all happened in the first place...

Next week i'll be reviewing Titanic, greatest Love story ever, or big pile of toss disater movie with a predictible ending.....

The Titanic would've been good but for two things:

 

1. CUT THE [censored] LOVE CRAP AND CONCENTRATE ON ITS DEMISE.

 

2. KATE WINSLETT.

 

Agreed. The best bit of the film is when that bloke thoses his grip and cartwheels downwards towards the freezing ocean.....bad enough you would think but he then proceeds to break himself in half on a conveniently place mast/bollard/fog horn....whatever it was it must have hurt like a bitch..... ouch.gif

Result.....I thought I had made it up.......I remember seeing it in HMV years ago.......I haven't seen it either but isn't something to do with some mentalist who kills people by pulling their brains out thru their noses?? scratchchin.gif
