   The book, essentially, is not really all that scary, just pretty tense. All in all, read the book if you want a REALLY good story (minus one character that sucks) and watch the movie if you want a good scare.

   Jan 1, 2001 · The hit movie The Ring, starring Naomi Watts, is based off a Japanese movie called Ringu ("ring" in Japanese), and Ringu is based off of Koji Suzuki's novel Ring. Most people probably know this story from the former two sources, but I thought Ring the book was excellent in its own right.

   I think Ringu is a bit better than The Ring. It has less production, but I like that, it makes it feel gritty compared to watching actors from Hollywood in the remake. The end is creepier in the Japanese version than the American.

   Is Ringu a good book?

   • Ringu was a slow burn, which is fine as the book is as well. But it doesn't really follow the book that well anyway, so they should have just taken a different, more entertaining approach. It's a very similar thing that happened with Parasite Eve. The book is a slow burner that actually gets decently creepy.

   Is ring better than Ringu?

   • Now, my reasoning behind like Ring better than Ringu is that it was just more overall entertaining. Ringu was a slow burn, which is fine as the book is as well. But it doesn't really follow the book that well anyway, so they should have just taken a different, more entertaining approach. It's a very similar thing that happened with Parasite Eve.

   Is the ring better than the book?

   • Between the films I like The Ring better. However, having read the actual novel, Ringu, they both fall flat compared to it. Neither film does the book much justice, and neither really comes close to getting the plot right. The book's plot is leaps and bounds more complex and interesting, but I understand to some extent why it was changed too.

   Is Ringu a good movie?

   • To actually answer your question both are really great films that are kind of at odds with each other thematically. While some of the ideas (like the footage of the tape itself and the horse) might make little sense in an American film, the imagery is still scary and still good to watch. Ringu's one of those movies I've needed to watch for years.
