Not that I'm (TV crawl aside) a huge "Ringu" fan.

Thought the remake of "Dark Water" was just a rather slow and dull film. But I've not seen the original.

I do stand up for the remake of "The Grudge" though....in it's 'Unrated Director's Cut' form.
I've not seen the original, but for me this was a perfect way of remaking a film for a wider audience as it had much of the same crew, kept many Japanese characters/actors and the setting.
And in the 'Director's Cut' at least it still managed to pack in some amazingly effective scares, creeps and shocks that felt they were out of a Japanese horror film.
Get the 'DC' and give it another shot I say.


But I am proud to say that from this list;

THE OMEN
THE FOG
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR
THE WICKER MAN
THE HILLS HAVE EYES
FRIDAY THE 13TH
HALLOWEEN
HALLOWEEN II
RING
THE GRUDGE
THE EYE
DARK WATER
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE


I have only ever seen "The Ring" (my Wife wanted to see it), "The Grudge" and "Hills" (when it was on TV).
Check out Ju-on mate.
Switch out the lights and crank up the sound.
You won't be disappointed.
