Feb 28, 2019 · Here’s a notion. Hideo Nakata’s Ringu – receiving a 20th anniversary release – is the most influential film of the late 1990s. We’re not saying it’s the best.

Ringu is and always shall be my favourite film of all time. I get that the books are meant to be good, but the introduction of [SPOILER ALERT] the video giving Small Pox just confused me. The film on the other hand is superb, despite feeling slightly western when compared to other J-Horror, it's a standard that I love.
The Ring is much slicker production-wise, and has what I think are some really effective scares (which is what I want in a horror movie). Ringu is much tighter plotwise and comes as a very nice little package - for example, you can track every shot in that cursed video to another scene in the movie.
For me, Ringu is far superior, but it's all personal choice. Ringu is older, so might take a while to get into, but I think it's much better. The ending is better. I have to talk about the famous scene, where Samara / Sadako is actually seen by the viewer.
