"With all due respect, nowhere near as scary as the remake."

I know this might sound disrespectful as a reviewer and I probably shouldn't have seen the remake before this one, but I don't think that would have changed the fact that that was a much scarier film. It's also one of the rare cases in screen history where a remake has actually been better overall, despite the fact that this version is obviously an extremely original film. The only scene in this film that significantly frightened me was the actual Ring tape scene. 'Ringu' is still an extremely original and very chilling and atmospheric horror film.

Still, it's among the most original horror films I've seen; just please, if you're going to watch a 'Ring' movie, try and watch this one first.
