Well, I turned the disc and my tv off beforehand and so that I wouldn't be scared stiff from watching the scene with Noah and his tv...but, that's not really the same is it?... ... You rented it, so that makes a difference, my dear...lol 8)...I tend to try and make the atmosphere at home as scary as possible when I rent a scary movie...I watch it late, late at night, like around midnight, I turn off all the lights, I watch it alone...it's like I wanna be effected intensly by the video...unfortunately, 90% of the scary videos I rent suck massive donkey gonads, so I just end up falling asleep on the livingroom floor... | |

As far as I'm concerned, any film with Naomi Watts is an instant classic. 
Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

See the original. Don't bother with these nonsense American remakes. Would you watch the American remake of Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone instead of Michael Caine? Of course not. Check out the original | |

1.5 hours ago it was exactly 7 days ago that I saw that
movie with a friend. I emailed her today to remind her of that and she replied "Stop it, you're freaking me out man!" So I decided, at 20:00 to just call her on the phone and freak her out even more 
However, the line was engaged all the time. Turned out she was trying to call me too at exactly 20:00 to scare the f*ck out of me. Then I went and took the dog out for a walk, closed the door behind me, walked 10 paces and the entire street just went black due to a black out in the electrics. Now THAT made me squeel like a little piggy. I could barely restrain myself from screaming "She's come to get me aaaaah" [This message was edited Fri Mar 14 12:29:34 PST 2003 by IstenSzek] and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

The only other movie that scared me is One Hour Photo...which is a bit more psychological and suspenseful...more of a thriller/suspense than typical horror, but if you consider it as a horror movie raise the count to two  | |

I bet even if the original Ring was a shitty comedy, people would still pick it over the US version. Some folks think they're more sophisticated if they go with the original, foreign versions. Another form of rebellion. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

OMFG! I watched it last night and it scared the shit out of me! I love horror movies but I'm the biggest scaredy cat in the world.The movie got over at like midnight and I went to bed at 1:30 to watch Purple Rain in my room.Big mistake! lol.I fell asleep like 20 minutes into it and then when I woke up it was over and my tv was all snowy...I was about to piss myself lol. I was just waiting for Samara to come out of my TV! THEN today my niece and nephew came over and a few hours ago my niece started crying(she's five) for no apparent reason and she just stood there with her head down...her hair was in front of her face and she was wearing a nightgowm.She looked just like Samara!! Me, my sister and our mother all noticed it at the same time and started laughing.My mother was like "omg! the little girl!!" It was scary...lol ~Stephanie~

Watched it last night!
Great movie! I can't say that it was all that scary, but it was very suspensful and interesting. I was totally into it the whole time. Good creepy and eerie feeling that other "horror" movies, like The House on Haunted Hill totally lack. It at least transcended camp, ya know? I haven't been this creeped out since...Signs, which was really fucking creepy. Nice twist at the end. Two thumbs up! Fear is the mind-killer. | |

Weird mixture of psychological thriller and straight out creep fest. That was eerie when she picked the fly off the tv screen. Or when she coughed up the amulet. | |

I saw it in the theatre when it first came out. I LITERALLY CRIED from fear. I was sitting there, crying, begging my friends to leave. I covered my eyes for most of it, and I missed about half of it. But it was a good movie!
I didn't go near my tv's or phones for about a week after. |

I thought the Ring is not bad of a movie. Movies don't scare me, but I have to say that this one is one of the top horror movies I've seen. I recently rented the original RINGU Japanese version and did not like it as much. Its pretty ordinary if you ask me.
