I’m not really fond of scary movies, but I’ve watched a few of the ’’best’’ (e.g. The Shining, Exorcist, The Birds, Carrie, Ringu). NONE OF THOSE MOVIES COMPARE TO THE AMERICAN VERSION OF THE RING.
That is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen! I have a VCR, and that thing scares me. I watched it about 6 months ago, and the images still linger in my mind. I only watched it once, and am afraid that if I watched it again, I’d be even more scared.
It’s not in your face scary which is a good thing. It’s CREEPY. Whenever I take showers, I don’t want to open the curtain because I wonder if SHE’s on the other side waiting for me.
There aren’t major effects in this movie (except for this one part) but yet it’s pretty disturbing.
The end is kind of weird. Like, you think it’s over, but then there’s more.
I think that a lot of it makes you think. It’s kind of a murder-mystery kind of thing, but some of the things that they say in the movie, you have to think about and piece together yourself. I’m still left with many questions regarding the history, but watching the Japanese version didn’t really help me because it just left me with even more questions.
