I LOVE The Ring and very much enjoyed Ringu when I rented it.

The Japanese film's pacing is MUCH slower. Which really works in its favor--it builds suspense much more steadily than the US film. There are places where the story was Americanized--the ex husband no longer has weird psychic powers, for instance. While I loved the US version, the Japanese film was clearly superior.

On the other hand, Naiomi Watts.
