Review of Ringu

Ringu (1998)
Dull and pointless
9 August 2004
Sad excuse for a horror film that deals with a "possessed" video tape that kills people soon after they watch it. It's illogical, boring, and has no real comment to make. As other people have said, it bears a similarity to the far superior movie VIDEODROME. I've never seen the American, Korean, or Japanese TV remakes and I don't particularly want to. I'm a big fan of Asian cinema, but I have yet to be truly terrified by an Asian horror film. Maybe it's because I'm more a fan of TWILIGHT ZONE-like stories that question our morals and the way we live our lives.
