*Shudders*
1. US version of The Ring
2. Japanese original of The Grudge
3. American version of The Grudge
4. Japanese original of The Ring
I'm no fan of the American version of the Grudge but the Japanese Ring actually made me laugh out loud several times, particularly when people died and it does the cheap inverted colours effect.
Normally I prefer the original versions of any film but in the case of The Ring (or Ringu...) I actually have to hand it to the Americans (well, Gore Verbinski, I believe) because in my opinion and that of my friends, it really did surpass the Japanese original in every way. I think the only moment that was a little off was the dodgy CG "Samara" at the end.
