I saw the original first then the remake 2 days ago. The actress in the original I find more believable then pretty Jessica Alba, and the scenes where scarier. I shocked when that lady asked "Why are you sitting on my chair" and rushes to her. But it kinda copied the story of Six Sense and Ringu, because in Six Sense that boy could see dead people, and in Ringu she released Sadako's soul. And all where good ghosts.
7 for the original - 5.5 for the remake.
