Who's seen this one? Saw it the other day, and was very much impressed. A thoroughly creepy, well-done film.

Do you mean the original Japanese version? I think there is a remake that has just come out with Naomi Watts in it.

Dawes · 6th November 2002, 12:14 PM

The new remake. Haven't seen the original version.

Damn scary film in parts. And the horse bit... ewwww. I've never seen the original but aparently the remake stays quite true to it. I heard there's a sequel and the child isn't safe after all...

I really enjoyed it, it was very interesting and entertaining. The story was very good.

As I understand it, "The Ring 2" is on the way.

FeedMeTV · 2nd October 2004, 10:03 PM

Really? Do you know who's in it? Any release dates?

Here's a short blurb on it.

Will the secrets she uncovers solve problems, or will they end more lives?

Ooooo. Well it sounds OK don't you think? Kind of what you'd expect but then they're a little limited with what they can do. I mean there's a girl in a well and a videotape, not a whole lot more to the story I shouldn't think. But we'll see what they come with when its out next year.

I'm making it a point to see it when it's released. Realizing that sequels have a reputation for being duds, maybe this one will turn out OK (well, I can hope, can't I?

).

I'll go and see it with a whole lot of friends and maybe a cushion. I know I'm a wimp but the first one was pretty freaky so I think something to hide behind is a must. But you're in America right? So you can tell me how big my cushion needs to be!

I agree with you about the sequal thing but I'm getting a not-as-good-as-the-original vibe from this one. I may be completely wrong, we shall see...

Interesting, thanks for the info. I would wait and see what they do with it.

I saw the Ring 2 last night. I personally don't think it was as good as the first one. Still made me jump but I felt the plot was lacking in any real... well plot I guess.

The way in which Samara crawled out of the well was freaky though. Her whole movements are quite scary and she was a much more real threat - physically in the room with them (sort of).

I've heard a rumour of a Ring 3 - surely there can't be much more to this story??
