I really enjoyed the set up, but felt that as the movie went on it got to be more and more like Ringu.
Can we get a new plotline, please? Sam

Brilliant strawman there, thanks.
But I think that since I asked for a new plotline that would specifically exclude "cheesy dated" plots from 25 years ago, wouldn't you? Sam

Audition was pretty original. So was May. There are a bunch.
Of course there's nothing that's completely original, I grant you that, but there are some things that wear their influences much mmore obviously than others. I just feel that The Eye, and a bunch of post-Ringu Asian films, have drawn too much on the plot structure of Ringu and haven't created enough on their own. Some info about strawman arguments at: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lilyth/strawman.html Sam

I felt that the plot - going back to someone's home town/region, to discover what happened to them/how they died, meeting a disturbed parent, trying to correct the wrong, and (as I recall in The Eye, but don't remember for sure) failing - all seem like pretty major elements of Ringu.

the Eye , if anything was closer to sixth Sense than Ringu but true what you're saying. The grudge good as it is, the main protaginist is a carbon copy of sadako. Liked that Straw man thing.
