... Those are very small, unimportant elements and I think you are thinking of Ringu 2... ... Going back to a small hometown at the start of a horror to find out what happend is a constant in horror, long before either of these movies!

The Eye is a movie to make you jump for the most part relying on sudden shocks ... "What are you doing in my chair" where as I would say Ringu is a creepy movie in which the fear builds...

I would say it was closer to Sixth Sense as well ... although much better than Sixth ...

Sixth itself can be said to be influenced by Jacobs Ladder, Carnival of Souls and other movies of that type ... after 100 years of Cinema everything has an influence!

I havnt seen Ringu yet, but I will soon.


Blockbuster doesnt have The Grude/Dark Water/Spiral (Uzumaki, if Im not mistaken)....Ive tried downloading Grudge (I like seeing the original before the remake, which I really wanna see) but have no luck...

I did think it seemed kinda like 6th Scence though...In a way. Much better though

uzumaki (vortex) and the spiral are different films.

I really liked The Eye. I've seen Ringu as well, and prefer it over The Ring.

I'm interested in seeing Ju-on : The Grudge. There's also Ju-on : The Curse. I read on another forum that one was supposed to be a lot better than the other, but I can't remember which.:confused: :(

k.. i really enjoyed the plot/story here.. but i really think it was delivered rather poorly...

i have heard that tom cruise bought the rights to this movie and that it'll be redone... and i'm thinking if this occurs.. it will be very frightening and one great movie

the bad cg really made for some disappointment for me as i watched.. but there were some elements of surprise that were really quite unnerving (in a good way)

The Eye is similar but superior to The Sixth Sense, because; no "isn't he a marvellous little actor!" cute kids to distract from the point, It has no recognisable stars to carry the story, and the revelatory ending is not anticipated right from the opening scenes.

There was too a cute kid >.>;;. Wonderful movie though. Managed to scare me without excessive gore. I'm difficult to scare but when the main character was learning calligraphy and the...torso ghost...flew at her...geez...I was ashamed. Even if I was alone I really over reacted. Pet cat thought I was insane.

I loved the guy in the lift. The wife hates it when i get Asian horror its the only thing that really scares her. She watched the Grudge & it got in her head for weeks lmao. The Asians are leading the way in horror at the moment just like they did with action films a few years ago. just hope they don t fuck up the remake like they did with Ring.
