MOVIES: The Ring 1 and 2 discussion

[Justin]

Have any of you guys seen this movie? I didn't think it was as scary as people say it is, but it was still pretty creepy.

[bodhisattva yoda]

i sort of want to see it. but i'd rather see 'ringu'...the japanese film the ring is based on.

[mirax terrik horn]

ok i watched the movie. oh my gosh i didnt sleep for 4 days after that. talk about scary. it was funny b/c someones cell phone rang right after the movie was done lol everyone screamed bloody murder.

[Justin]

I thought it was pretty creepy, but it wasn't as scary as it could have been. I don't know why anyone would want to watch it again, it wouldn't be as scary the second time around.

I own the japanese version. It is well creepy. Big long silences and then suddenly this jarring scary music comes outta nowhere when horrible things happen. The music alone scares the hell out of you. I went to see the new version last week. It wasn't bad, still quite creepy and a little different to the original. I still prefer the original though. Spookiness! :0

What?? E.T. isn't scary.

[flo fett]

The sequel wasn't bad either but I've still to see 'Ring 0' the prequel

[Siamese Sith]

I saw it in the theater and it was creepy as hell! I got the DVD and there's a section in the main menu that say's "don't watch this" who went straight to that? I chickened out :look:

[Justin]

"Don't watch this" is just a montage of deleted scenes.

[Javen]

This movie wasn't that creepy. The Gift on the hand, now that was a creepy movie.

[Justin]

You're right Javen, The Gift was pretty good. Stir of Echos is another great scary movie.

[bodhisattva yoda]

i haven't been scared by a movie since IT, and that was when i was ten. i'm looking for a truly scary film so i can sort of make my inexplicable fear of nothing in particular, like, tangible.

[Aurra Sing]

I just wanted that again when my sister went to it. I went with my boyfriend and we didn't think it was scary. Fear Dot Com was similar to it. That was dumb. lol.

[bodhisattva yoda]

people have different perceptions of what the word scary means. i don't like thrillers. thrillers aren't scary. i like creepy stuff. stuff that disturbs your sleep. stuff that affects you psychologically and makes you go insane with terror. sort of thing.

[Aurra Sing]

I like thrillers...not because they are scary but because they usually have a better story like "silence of the lambs" "hannibal" "seven" and such

[bodhisattva yoda]

strange. silence of the lambs is on in the periphery as we speak.

seven is good, but not really a thriller. more like, suspense horror.

[Aurra Sing]

Really?

Yeah you are right.

<span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:purple">You know what I thought would be cool on the DVD? If they had an extra feature where you could watch the video. That'd be so cool, being able to see that. Ooh, you know what would make that really scary? If you watched it, then just as it finished the phone started ringing. That'd be scary as style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif , I'd probably p*ss myself, then run as far away as I could get.</span></span>

[bodhisattva yoda]

there's a hidden feature that allows you to do just that. i read that on some dvd review site.

That is on the DVD, QGW. When the cursor is on "play movie," press the "up" button and then press "select."

Please don't include Hannibal in that list... Thomas Harris ruined his characters in that book and that movie. IMHO. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

The first Silence of the Lambs is beyond brilliant! Seven is absolutely mindbending... Kevin Spacey is awesome!

[Justin]

I actually got into an argument with some chick in a "guess movie by plot" chat room the other night about The Ring.

She said it was great art and that the director was really saying something, and I said it was just a movie and the director was just trying to scare the audience.

Boy did she get angry.

[mazzy]

Ring is the most frightening film EVER! I saw it about three years ago (the Japanese version) and I coundn't sleep or eat! It was real, I will never watch it again. It made doubt the existence of God and I cried the next day thinking about it. That said I am a real baby!

[cj790]

But the American one is rubbish.

[Justin]

I can't believe I made this thread.

That many people bought, since it made a style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif load of money. Not to mention the sequel is a coming.

[Lost-Jedi-Of-The-Republic]

[Spacehunter24]

I was really disappointed with THE RING. I was really intrigued by the concept and thought it had some great actors, and I loved the atmosphere. But by the time it was over, I was like, "What? That's it?"

Personally, the only scary movies that really creeped me out in recent years were STIR OF ECHOES and EXOCIST III, which I just saw for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was one of the creepiest freakin movies I've ever seen and actually got me to jump a few times (which no recent horror movies have accomplished).

WTF?

I don't get what you mean - are you saying SW is bad?

On a SW fan site?
Really? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

[mazzy]

Saying SW is bad on a SW fan site is a strange move.......

And CJ is right, the American one WAS rubbish.

[JKRich]

The Exorcist is truly the only movie i was scared of.

[Darth Darthy]

Has anybody seen Ring 0? Its supposed to be the weakest of the trilogy but I don't know anybody who's seen it.

Clowns?
Maybe it's the language of Mordor, which should not be uttered here style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Justin]

I thought The Ring was pretty creepy but not that great, but this trailer is awesome. Hopefully the sequel will be better than the first.

The Ring 2 Trailer (http://www.dreamworks.com/trailers/ring2/ring2_tsr_qt_480.mov)

[Dutch]

I loved The Ring. This trailer is really cool and creepy like you said. I really can't wait to see this movie.

[Padme]

Is anyone else as excited about this movie as I am? It hits theaters on March 18 and my husband and I are going to see it, is anyone else??

[Mediahound]

I can't wait! The first one creeped the hades out of me...
This one looks no different....

Bloody creepy

[Virus]

I enjoyed the first one but I can't imagine how they are pulling a story out of this. Should be called: The Ring 2: The Search for more Money

[Obi-Wan]

I am curious as to how the story will be worked into this one. Hopefully something to keep me pulled in. The first one was really good, not exactly scary but had it's jumpy points. Can't wait to see this.
