The obvious reason why Ringu scared me and The Ring didn't is I've seen Ringu before really. They're pretty much the same. I don't mind slow paces, but, for a movie to give me nightmares, it needs to contain a lot of scares.

The Blair witch project. Damn man that movie was the worst suck fest i have probably ever seen. That fucking movie made me fall asleep the FIRST TIME i ever saw it and i am not usually one who falls asleep during a film, any film. But god damn that movie was boring as shit...
Perhaps if it had more zombies, gore, incidental music and nice birds in it, BWP would have been a winner?

It is clearly not a favourite of many expectant horror fans, but it is unfathomable how this brutally simple and effective film leaves many non-the-wiser as to what they have just experienced.

Without drawing too many distinctions between how people actually watch films, perhaps it is simply a case of one man's thrillride is another man's snoozefest.

Ringu didn't do anything for me....the volcano bit seemed a bit more forced...althought the samara backstory was a bit more fleshed out in Ringu....

It scared me less, impressed me less, no subliminal quick shots like in the Ring, i love that shit, and the ending TV scene did nothing for me in Ringu....to each his own....

I got the Jap ring boxset the other day, watched Ring and thought it was quite good.... I'm going to be optimistic with the other two, as I dont want negatvity I've read about them here, to affect the viewing.

yep, Lucas must have spent to much, and wanted a bigger bank balance.

imo there was no need for the 3 prequals.
