"See, mommy, I can do it, too!" <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Usuri.<BR/><BR/>Creepy and nihilistic--my cuppa tea, but both movies were just plain bleak. I like to think of myself as moderatedly well-read and well-traveled, but I couldn't get my hands around whatever the hell they were trying to say with this flick (the re-made original or the reimagined, re-made origi...whatever). Parts of it were baffling to me. Still are.<BR/><BR/>But for plain, unvarnished spook-factor, I'd rent either one over and over again.Lalitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460917758732512734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-82379076278157031012007-08-30T11:04:00.000-07:002007-08-30T11:04:00.000-07:00Ya I dig the Ring (US) as well... beautifully shot...Ya I dig the Ring (US) as well... beautifully shot, decent scares, better plot than the original too. <BR/><BR/>Ju-On just doesn't resonate with me though. *shrug*BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-112633893144439342007-08-30T11:02:00.000-07:002007-08-30T11:02:00.000-07:00Hi BC,How's my fav horror movie maestro?

There is no narrative, as you said. No reason to care about anyone. <BR/><BR/>The Ring, not Ringu, scared THE SHIT out of me. Obviously, I saw The Ring first. One of my fav horror movies. <BR/><BR/>Peace.Alana Noel Vothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678764751722565458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-70123732235750883162007-08-30T10:41:00.000-07:002007-08-30T10:41:00.000-07:00I liked The Grudge, maybe because it was my first ...I liked The Grudge, maybe because it was my first exposure to this type of Japanese horror, but not so much Ju-On.

I do tend to like the atmosphere of most Japanese films, but maybe something gets lost in the translation after that, because usually I just end up confused. Two Japanese films I DO like are Suicide Club (which is also a bit confusing) and Pulse (I heard the American remake sucked.)<BR/><BR/>As far as Ju-On and The Grudge are concerned, my friend and I used to make references to the little cat-boy doing things like pooping in a cat box and scratching his ass on the carpet the way cats do. Can you imagine an 11 year old boy taking a crap in a cat box? Can you, I ask?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895987205247202904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-46628249288139173272007-08-30T06:02:00.000-07:002007-08-30T06:02:00.000-07:00The Ju-On series wore itself out by repetition eve...The Ju-On series wore itself out by repetition even before being watered down for Americans, but I really dug the ORIGINAL originals (sounds like a Spinal Tap bit), that I think were made for TV or something in Japan. Very scary weird stuff, with the croaking lady and the missing jaws and all that.<BR/><BR/>It's probably lost a lot of its impact by now, but when I first saw it I admit I got the shivers.The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-74538257105755322942007-08-29T17:30:00.000-07:002007-08-29T17:30:00.000-07:00I liked it just because I saw "the Grudge" first a...I liked it just because I saw "the Grudge" first and it was so god-awful that Ju-On looked like a cinematic masterpiece.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014294045965872770noreply@blogger.com
