Ringu is an important movie in its way. But lots of important movies are also dull, and or sucky. La Strada for example. Important? Yes. But it's maudlin, insensitive and boring, with a message that doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on. Ringu is something of a lesson in genre history (recent though it might be) and is decent medicine for the horror fan that doesn't need the proverbial spoon full of sugar. And by sugar, I mean entertainment.
