Watch the Japanese version and you'll **** in your pants, Thor, I'm telling you :)

[morse]

I didnt think the ring was scarry as in make you piss your pants, but scary as in it was so disturbing.

[vts31]

why oh WHYY wasnt i scaed at all during the ring? =/ makes no sense. i wasnt the least bit scared.

[thoriphes]

hey, pom have you seen the american version too? anyway, now i'm gonna rent that japanese version.

i think what made that movie scary was the fact that i was watching it alone (:() and in the dark. it really sets the mood for the movie.

[Derek]

hmm... i didnt think the ring was that scary... only the part with the girl's body at the beginning and near the end where the tvgirl comes out and kills that guy...

i dont think signs was meant to be a scary movie, like sixth sense was not meant to be a scary movie... at least i hope it wasnt.

Silence of the lambs is probably the scariest movie i've ever seen... scared the crap out of me...

the only movie that has ever given me nightmares was the wizard of oz, go figure...

-Derek

[Rockstar]

have you seen the japanese version?

[Alex]

how would the japanese version be even scaryer? i am really not sure why. please fill me in so i can go rent it. :)

[Aislin]

wasn't scared at all by the ring.



scariest movie I've seen was Event Horizon. I was like, 8, so that might have had something to do with it. But either way, Event Horizon is a far higher quality movie and than The Ring. The Ring was crap.

[kirupa]

All right =) Haven't seen the ring yet, but I am usually scared of scary movies, so I am not going to watch it hehe.

Aislin, grim - I removed your responses; let's all be friends ;)

Cheers!
Kirupa :pirate:

[pinx]

the ring would be much better if the last ten minutes were cut out. like if it ended when the creepy little boy tells her that she wasn't supposed to help the girl. that would be creepier.

dude its all right, you dont have to apologize for thinking diffrent , were all diffrent and have diffrent opinions, the beauty of it lies in respecting other peoples opinions and still be able to interact with the person even though you both think diffrently.

[morse]

Event Horizon was an strange movie...

[upuaut]

I just saw "Ringju" this evening. The japanese movie that the "Ring" was based on.

Check it out if you can, it tells more of the story than the american version.

[Aislin]

David, everyone's asking how it is scarier than the american version. Can you point out a couple things that are different?

[Mik3]

The Japanese verion is supposedly extremely disturbing.

[c!rYx]

HAHA, The Ring is so not scary...... haha

[!*@&]

i thought it was pretty scary but not as much as six sense


ahaha, i was the only one in the movie theater that was laughing when she fell in the well. i just found that HILAROUS! lol my friends where looking at me like i was crazy.
when i read this i rolled on the floor laghing cuz i thougt i was the only one who thought it was funny.

[c!rYx]

hehe, the one with the well was funny. Actually I think it would have been scary if the stone which covered the well would have fallen down into the well. That would have been awesome scary but so.... It wasn't scary

[denivri]

to all of you that suggested the japanese version.. i agree!!..

i first saw it 4 years ago.. and scared the **** out of me..the hollywood one was just lame.. personally asain themes scare me more.. not full of all that BOO! scariness.. and maybe just cuz i was brought up listening to it all..

the plot is slightly altered.. it just made more sense to me.
i don't htink that the one i saw was sub titled, so good luck to those who don't know japanese..

yea quality could be bad at times.. but hey budget is way smaller in japan than what hollywood can offer..

[Iammontoya]

The Ring? Scary? Ho-hum... I guess Im desensitized by the whole thing... yes, some stuff was a bit creepy, but the original "The Evil Dead" still counts as one of the scariest films for me. I've seen every slash and dash movie from The Fog through Jason 400. <yawn....> You know what's scary? Tax Day.

[Iammontoya]

oh, and feardot.com was pathetic with a lot of its part practically identical to the ring.

[thoriphes]

oh come on, none of you thought it was scary? this morning when i woke up i saw my lamp crashed on the floor which totally freaked me out. i get really paranoid after watching a scary movie. the last time i watched a good quality scary movie was when i was like 8, watching the Exorcist at like 2 in the morning. i still can't forget that statue of Mother Mary following that nurse...

[Iammontoya]

honestly! I thought it was creepy, and I liked the whole "picking up the fly thing" and even her coming out the way she did.. the rest? Nah..

Well atleast you didnt have her handmarked on your arm rotflmao that wouldve been scarier lol

[Alex]

hey Thoriphes,

you watched it last night right? that means you only have 6 days left...


haha

but some of the parts where scary and the other parts where hilarous. :)

[thoriphes]

lol, i think 5 now...

[Alex]

hey Thoriphes, you know what would be a great idea, if you could find a copy of that tape on kazaa or something, and send it to one of your firends so it opens full screen. now that would be crazy.

[Ryall]

I just saw it two nights ago with one of my roommates... we both agreed that we were very let down in the "scary" departement. I was expecting something freaky, actually I was way more scared before the movie got going. I dunno what runied it for me.... I think it had to do with the fact the the prevailing attitude of the character did not match their actions in the movie well. I mean Rachelle (the main woman) is totally spooked over this tape that kills you when you watch it, but she leaves it in the VCR with her kid home?? Shows it to a friend??? Leaves it with the babysitter??? Etc.

And it was a little too much 6th Sense for me...

6th: "....I see dead people...."
Ring: "....she never sleeps..." and said in almost the same voice. hmmm.

I dunno I heard good things about this one, and was stoked to see it, but was truely let down in the end.

JMHO
Peace

[eilsoe]

oki, not wanting to read all this, I'll just state my opp on THE RING...:

It was good.. not scary, but goot, I liked the story :) I saw it at the movies with 3 of my friends, one of these was pretty terrified after the film :P

I made some scary voices during the film, and he was soooo p*ssed at me :P

always funny scaring ppl at the movies =)

[Illuminae]

hey all. i have to agree with Thoriphes, the ring was one of the scariest movies i've ever seen, and i dont scare easily... i think the last movie that scared my this much was dr. giggles, (dont laugh, it was creepy as hell! and i was a kid, too heheh).
i saw the american version of it first, alone, at night, my dreams were haunted for like 2 days with that little wench coming out of various things in my apartment, including my fridge and my bathroom sink! hehe.
then i heard about the original one, so i got it, and i'm sorry to say, but i think it was not as scary. i have a feeling though if i saw the japanese version FIRST, and the american version SECOND, i would have felt the exact opposite; i think it had to do a lot with the surprise element. either way, i think it's one of the best scary oens i've seen ina while, as i said, im hard to scare, so this makes it get extra points in my book. oh, btw, there are many japanese "Ringu" versions out there, inclucing a made for tv series.. and having seen a few of these, i must agree with the critics that the first ringu is by far the bestest....
and someone mentioned feardotcrap.crap
oh man, i saw that a short while after the ring, and i swear, i was wiping the popcorn bits off my computer for a week (a nice way of saying that it stunk so bad and was such a blatant rip that i continually threw food at my poor moniter)

[grimdeath]

well to be on the safe side i watched the ring and made a copy of the dvd just in case you know lol

[DarkChild]

...watch The Ring. dear God, i haven't been scared like that in a while. This movie makes Signs look like walk through the park.

sorry to bring this up again, but i finally watched the ring last night. i haven't had the chance to watch it yet, due to several reasons, but that's a different story :)

i kinda wanna know: what is all the fuss about? i've heard from several people "oh dear god, i almost sh*t my pants" "man, that's like the scariest movie EVER!"
so are there like 2 american versions? cause i haven't seen anything that even comes close to scary :h: compared to the grudge, this is like "what the F, is this it?"

if the ring 2 is even worse, then i won't even bother to go rent it, cause this is just plain cr*p

my $0.02

[cigar]

Haven't seen the US version of The Ring, but, from what I've read, it is a pale imitation of the Japanese version, which I have seen, and which is very good. Also good are Dark Water and The Eye.

[eilsoe]

may I add:

Wishing stairs (jap.)
Into the mirrors (jap.)
Seance (jap.)

3 good kinda scary movies :)

[RabBell]

DC watch the Japanese version

for some reason they really watered it down to make the US version. And don't watch the 2nd ring, it sucks (both American & Japanese versions)

favourite scary movie would be Blair Witch. Not while watching it but an hour later when you heard a noise behind you and you were like 'WHAT THE F**K WAS THAT'.....but me off camping for life too ;)

[DarkChild]

DC watch the Japanese version
i most definately will, it's on my to-do list :thumb:

lol, so true, that's what i call a movie that scared the cr*p out of me, after the movie as well as during the movie :D

i have a funny story connected to this when i watched it, but i won't discuss that here, y'all gonna make fun of me :P

[eilsoe]

I will ban you if you do not share that story, right this instant :lol:

[minimalistik]

Watch the Japanese version of the Ring first, then watch the American version. Then you'll crap your pants.

[onsitus]

The ring is more disturbing then scary. Like most japanese film such as the eye,the grudge, river or battle royale -best one for me (I would also add Phone which is Corean)

[DarkChild]

I will ban you if you do not share that story, right this instant :lol:

lol, well ok, if you insist and at the risk of being the forum idiot :blush:

so i watched blair witch a couple of years ago, it was about midnight i believe when i finished watching, and it just scared the cr*p out of me. so i went to have a smoke outside (i always do that when i go to bed). but you gotta know, we've got a lot of trees around our house (not really a forest, but i kinda surrounds 3 sides of the house) so i was smoking my cig, when suddenly i heard some noize coming from the left side of me. i was like "WTF!!!". i started walking backwards to the door (backwards, so i could still have a look at where the noize came from) and then i saw something through the trees, the streetlights was kinda shining through the leaves, and i saw it was looking at me when suddenly it came towards me. once again, i was like "WTF?!?" and i started running back to the door, and as i turned to start running, i tripped over a wheelbarrow that was standing in my way (my dad worked in the garden that evening) and made a nasty fall on my side and i kinda made a lot of noize. so i got back inside, pain like hell, scratches and blood on my side, my short was torn. suddenly the front door bell rang, apparently my neighbour was walking the dog and he came asking if i was alright, he saw me smoking and heard the wheelbarrow hitting the ground :sigh:

sounds kinda retarded eh? :P mind you i was 16 or 17 years old :P

[liveMike]

Yeah, even though many disagree, I thought Blair Witch was one of the scariest out there, mostly due to it's original "home movie" format. The end did leave me a little disappointed, but looking over my shoulder when I walked home none the less. A good movie that may not neccessarily fall into the horror category is "Mulholland Drive" by David Lynch, it's pretty weird and a little hard to follow the first time you watch, but the weirdness only adds to the scare factor.
