The Ghost of Samara (Sadako in the Japanese original) spotted on Saturday in Tokyo. Short video of the mobile ad below.

I’ve never seen the Japanese version. Have you? How was it?

The US version of The Ring 3D was initially promised this year, but is now pushed back to 2014, according to IMDb.

I found the US version more frightening in terms of piss-your-pants shock tactics, while Ringu has a more sensitive touch. Asian horror in general is often more psychological as opposed to the Hollywood tendency to FLASH A HORRIBLE IMAGE WITH SUDDEN LOUD NOISE OR MUSIC (which is a cheap and nasty habit, if you ask me). I recommend “A Tale of Two Sisters” from Korea if you’re in the market for a similarly unsettling horror movie. It’s terrifying and yet tender.

I thought Ringu was much creepy, it has a kind of dream-like atmosphere to it. Also *the* scene is scarier due to how it was filmed :-)

Ringu had a smaller budget which made some things look a little creepier. Also, there was a different back story with the girl and her parents.
