Jeesus!!!! you've got to go see this film at the flicks its the most stressful cinematic experience ever.
I usually come out from seeing a film thinking, "that were complete shite" or similar, but this is both beatifully made and VERY scary, go see it NOW.
Now go an see the original :) and realise that its not good coz hollywood made it that way :)
Ok - I've seen trailers for this and it's about a video which if you watch it you die right? I don't understand why anyone would watch it. There's a scene in the trailer where a mother comes into the room and her son is watching it, she quickly covers his eyes which shows she knows it's dangerous so why the hell did she have it in the house?
This is what I hate about horror films - Suzi's just gone down into the basement, there''s a load of screaming and terrible noises but Suzi's friend still goes down there to find out what happened despite the fact that the lights dont work:rolleyes:
If you can explain why the hell anyone would have this video, much less watch it then I might watch The Ring:)

;)
they showed ring1 and 2 on C4 about six months ago.Really creepy rather than outright scary.Cant bring myself to go and see the remake in case it doesnt do it justice
"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them"
or do you mean a different ring...:rolleyes: ;)
havent seen the hollywood version, but the jap version is excellent!! there`s Ring, Ring 2 and Ring 0 gives you all the background story of how it all started and is really good if you have seen the other two;) :)
as for why people would watch the video tape,ask yourself this, there are rumors going around that if you watch this video you will die within 7 days, are you really going to believe this??arn`t you going to be curious whats on the tape?? and the kid is just watching tv when his mum comes in not the video, i`m not going to say any more coz i don`t want to spoil it for anyone.;)

That's a re-release of the original Japanese movie (obviously a re-release, as it's billed as "the movie that inspired The Ring") with a DD 5.1 soundtrack (in Japanese).
Or R2 DVD's;
http://www.playserver1.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=91186 - Ring (only DD2.0)
http://www.playserver1.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=94137 - Ring 2 (DD2.0 again)
http://www.playserver1.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=98777 - Ring 0
Or the soon to be released R2 triple pack;

To explain anything would spoil it.
I'm the biggest film cynic going, I think most stuff is complete crap, but this really impressed me.

Honestly, you won't regret it.

I watched the new one last night. It was better than i expected , had a really good story so i was rivetted the whole way through. I wouldn't say it was particularly scarey... more just creepy as someone already mentioned. Definitely worth a watch anyway.
I've downloaded Ring and Ring 2 from edonkey, might give them a go tonight :D

I saw it last night - fair play I was on the edge of my seat the hole way through - especially the last 20mins!! Great film - best horror i've seen in a long time.
Slight off topic - anyone know where you can download PC games? I'm after SimCity4
D - what's that meant to be?
Ddogy scan of a still wrapped jonnie?
:D please feel free to spoil it for me, I won't watch it, I just know I wont. I don't get time to watch the films I want to, let alone the ones I think are going to be rubbish and like I say, the story sounds just too unbelievable and I'm sure I'd spend the whole film shouting at the screen "DON'T FECKING WATCH IT STUPID - YOU'LL DIE";)
