I actually found the victims faces more scary in Ringu. No makeup required, just a look of sheer gutwrenching shock.

Also, for some strange reason I found the video in Ringu kinda evocative of WWII and the Hiroshima bomb (particulary because of the name Sadako too) - the video just felt nicely aged and real, like it was very old stock footage or something.

Watching the horse go nuts in the Ring was good, but eventually even the horse theme felt overused.

I'm not taking anything away from the Ring being a good movie - they were both impressive.
