Poor Sadako. She was too clever for all the people and could make their brains rot just by thinking about it. So they got scared and she got the ding dong dell treatment. So she kills everyone with VHS. Clever. Sadako is the ultimate emo punk.
Some people say this is a really scary series, but really it is beautiful tragedy. It made me cry. The books are very good and offer more insight in... read more

"It's not of this world. It's Sadako's fury. And she's put a curse on us."

An adaptation of the popular horror potboiler by Kôji Suzuki, 1998's Ringu is a nerve-jangling and atmospheric Japanese horror gem that's destined to get under your skin. Upon its release, the film became the highest-grossing Japanese horror flick in history, and it has gone down in history as an influential... read more

Japanese horror movies don't come much better than this. A mysterious video tape kills people seven days after they watch it. One TV reporter tries to uncover the mystery which leads down several dark paths.

It was re-made into a Hollywood movie that tried to 'improve' it but only resulted in making it un-focused. If you're lucky enough not to have seen the re-make yet, do yourself ... read more

“"It's not of this world. It's Sadako's fury. And she's put a curse on us."

An adaptation of the popular horror potboiler by Kôji Suzuki, 1998's Ringu is a nerve-jangling and atmospheric Japanese horror gem that's destined to get under your skin. Upon its release, the film became the highest-grossing Japanese horror flick in history, and it has gone down in history as an influential production, with sequels and an American franchise being spawned. Such adulation is wholly earned, as director Hideo Nakata has created a haunting motion picture which relies on tension and a pervasive sense of foreboding rather than big special effects or gore. Comparing Ringu to a clichéd teen slasher is like comparing a roast dinner at a five-star restaurant to a McDonalds Happy Meal. The Happy Me” read more

""This kind of thing... it doesn't start by one person telling a story. It's more like everyone's fear just takes on a life of its own. Rating: 4/10 What it's about: A mysterious video kills whoever views it, unless that viewer can solve its mystery. My thoughts: Scared the shit out of me!!"
