The Ring Trilogy
Im sure alot of yall have seen the American version of The Ring.
Its not without its charm but having seen the original japanese vesion first, you can really see the western methods of scare tactics come out.
The Ring saga has now become a trilogy Yay!
Ring, Ring 2 & Ring 0 (the prequel) are all available on video. What I loved about these movies was the difference in how fear was applied to the film. From the sound track to the directing. It all contributed a unique feel of horror. It freaked me out thats for sure. Its great to get a taste of the Japanese culture.Thats why I loved these films so much, because they brought something new to the table. Some may argue that the films were hardly scary but I believe that is only because you are looking through the western looking glass (Generally speaking). Its a different kind of scary, thats what makes it exciting.
Personally, Ring was my fave. Im sure you all know the story.
If not, here is Ring in a nutshell :
There is an urban legend about a video tape that kills you if you watch it (Kinda like my mums home made porno
).
Its not the actual tape that kills you tho. After watching it, the phone rings and someone tells you that you have seven days to live.Sure enough, after that time, you die but leave no identifiable cause of death.
A reporter whose niece had recently died from watching the tape, goes out to investigate the myth of the tape and discovers more than she can handle...Ooooh!
If you like, Check the other two films as well. Ring 2 pretty much picks up where the first left off. Ring 0 explains how the horror of the tape came to be. Fuckin loved them.
-Peace
