No kidding.

I made a thread HERE about Ringu and Ringu 2, and why people prefer them over the American remake. Strange, but the people that said that they enjoyed the Japanese films more didn't (or couldn't) really put up a good argument as to why.

I, myself, did enjoy Ju-On very much, but I thought the American version was scarier in many ways. The shower scene and the video scene in The Grudge was much more effective than its Japanese counterpart. However, I did enjoy the structure of Ju-On more.

Let's face it. The Ring and The Grudge are good horror films, and should not be dismissed just based on the fact that they are "remakes".

I am going to give Dark Water a chance. From the looks of it, urgeok will, too. The rest of you can watch Jason pick his nose. :p
