What movie scared you more, this or Ringu?


For me, Ringu by a fair distance. That movie scared the crap out of me.

I enjoyed the Eye, just saw it for the first time, having seen the American version years ago. The Asian version is significantly better and more compelling. Elevator and chair scene gave me the goosebumps!

It's called Ring.

Ahh....no, the Japanese version is called "Ringu" the US version is called "The Ring" you're obviously not a horror fan.

reply

No, it's called Ring, 'Ringu' is just the result of some jackass writing Ring in katakana and then romanizing it over-literally.

reply

This guy's right ^ It was originally called just "Ring" but they put the u over here so Americans can differentiate between the two.

reply

Exactly. The katakana for "gu" being the last syllable doesn't keep the "u" sound, the name of the film is "Ring" not "Ringu."

Ringu. The Eye ( both this and the remake ) were good but there was never a real sense of danger here except for the finale.
