Josh A This is basically just an inferior version of Ring. I don't really like it very much. It was alright and interesting to see a different take on the original movie, but it was a bit boring. By boring, I mean a snoozefest. It's not as tiring to watch as something like Rasen (the TV show from 1999, it's not on here but boy do I have some words prepared for it if it ever does come here), but it's boring. Also the TV scene just doesn't hit the same as the movie. Overall, just watch Ring (1998). It's way better. But if you're a completionist like me, you can watch this if you want. Anyways, because I'm watching the non-canon entries as a detour before Ring 2, Sadako vs. Kayako next, then finally back on track for Ring 2! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review chucky.editzz 6 I've watched this movie and it's great, the acting is good, soundtrack is good, the scenes are good. Park Eun-Suh should have more films, not only The Ring Virus. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Another good (but why bother?) remake of Ring. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Just as great as the Japanese but way better then the American version! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A great example of how NOT to do a remake. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok bit of a mix some promising moments and approaches to things but felt they had messed up the story completley it didn't run smoothly and felt the scary moments were edited because of the execution of how they wanted to deliver the film visually it just didn't work.would of liked to see them not mess with the story but maybe try and top the Japanese original for scares and atmosphere sadly it delivered on neither.
