OK, I loved "The Ring" visually it was kick ass and disturbing. When I was in Japan my wife rented me "Ringu" way better storyline, but the special effects were so-so.
I seen the "The Grudge" I loved it, I thought it was a great movie. I haven't seen "Ju-on" yet but I am told it is a great movie as well.
I love japanese horror movies, for one reason, the ideas are fresh and innovative and they are not afraid to get some blood on their hands. The only movie I was dissapointed with was Suicide Club. I believe that this movie had a great Idea, but the script was poorly written. There were a lot of loop holes. I have to admit when one the guys jumps off the building and hits his girlfriend on the way down was fucken hilarious.
I know the US just did a remake of "pulse" looks pretty good. The japanese come up with the innovative ideas and we clean it up with pretty visuals, or fuck it up beyound recognition.
