[King Hadas]

Ringu - In order for a remake to be worth a damn it has to be far superior to the original, that's why remakes of really old horror movies are usually okay (Body Snatchers, The Thing). The American remake of Ringu is only better in some areas, special effects for example, and actually worse in others, Sadako's eyeball is scarier than her stupid, blue "Exorcist" face, so Ringu should probably usurp The Ring's place in my head, but I saw The Ring first and it has a special place in my heart that Ringu just can't fill. Did you know the first commercials for The Ring were aired after midnight, they were basically excerpts from the in-film short film but the thing was the commercial didn't in any way indicate it was a commercial. Spooked me pretty bad at the time, especially the upside-down spinning chair.
