Okay, here is where you all get to hate me....
I found Ringu boring.The lack of effects hurt it. I thought the story in the ring was much more engagin and entertaining, and the bigger budget and effects made the scares more effective.
The "oo, im scared" looks on everyone's faces in Ringu were laughable, wheras the distorted faces in ring were diturbing.
I thought ringu was good for a modern japanese movie, but i have never been a big fan of theirs. Most anime movies are difficult to follow, or lack an actual plot all together, which was my #1 exposure to japanese movies for a long time.
