just saw ju-on 1 and 2 the past week. I was mildly disappointed. It was a scary, but not to the extent of all the reviews. I can't compare with ringu yet because I'm prolly the only person in the world that hasn't seen any of that franchise yet.

I haven't seen the franchise of Ju-on.. On the second thought..maybe not..

i guess that make 2 of us.

Ju On has some simple yet very scary moments, both Ju On 1 and 2 sent a few chills down my spine try watching it middle in the night with lights out will help

Ringu on the other hand only has 1 :/

so yeah, Ju On gets my vote.

BOTH SCARY, Juon got more scary scene then Ringu tough (dont liken da white face) the movie still scare me even 2day and we in 2000s not late 90s

looks like my previous got deleted
i thought ju on was way scarier than ringu...although both are obviously unrealistic, ju on hits home a little more than ringu.

Ju-on was definitely much scarier and creepier.

And I had to watch it three times...shudder.

ju-on
it was scarier to me, but the ending was wierd. the woman seemed happy , like it was ok that everyone would have to keep sharing a horrible video with innocent ppl in order to live.
in ringu they at least felt guilty about it.
wierd....

Ringu is scary and the best japanese horror

Ju-on was boring and not 100% scary, more like 1% Gurdge aka Ju-on remake was so much better (sorri if u prefer the orin) maybe coz it actully make you jump and better story LOL. Ju-on mirror remind me of ringu too much tho

nice avatar,

it was interesting to read that a lot of people felt that ju-on was scarier than the ring. i know some folks that watched the ring and told me that it was one of the scariest movies they've ever seen.

i haven't seen either, and here's why: i keep getting conflicting comments about which is scarier/better, the jp versions or the american versions. i wanted to watch the scariest VERSION of the less-scarier MOVIE first. then watch the scariest version of the scariest movie next. (the other two versions i can always watch the next time.)

so, here's my questions:

1. which was scarier/better? 'the ring' or 'ringu'

2. which was scarier/better? 'the grudge' or 'ju-on'

thanks for any help you folks can provide....

Ringu is better then Ring
but Grudge is way better and scarier then Ju-on Ju-on was actully crap lol

I just saw Ju-on this weekend, so while it's fresh in my head let me say that it was just about as scary as your average music video.

What a huge disappointment!

Empty, vapid, dull, amateurish. What a waste of time.

Compared to Ringu? Well, Ringu wasn't scary either, but at least the acting was better.

The two scariest movies I've ever seen:

"The Exorcist" (I'm old. I saw it in the theater when it first came out, and it scared the beejesus out of me. And I was 19 or 20 at the time.)

And the scariest monster movie ever made... "Night of the Hunter". The 1955 original, directed by Charles Laughton, staring Robert Mitchum. No special effects. No rivers of blood. Just the scariest monster ever caught on film. And one of the best movies ever made.


Manny!

I'm with you. Stephen King's It is awesome. I've read everything he's written (except for the Dark Tower series) and "It" is by far my favorite.

Word of advice? Don't see the movies or the mini series. They stank.

Geezer: when you say you watched Ju-On, do you mean the first one. as i understand it, it is the SECOND juon that is "the grudge", right? also, did you mean you watched the jp version?

jholic

I'm talking about the original "Ju-on"

The first one, in Japanese.

Not the remake Shimizu made with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Dull Dull Dull

Hhaah, hey, there Geezer, happy holidays to ya'll's (bet ya'll's never thought you'd see a "happy holidays" greeting on a thread called "which do you find scarrier," hahaha) and to you also jholic, and to everyone else as well.

I heard those "Dark Tower" books are pretty good. I've only read It and that "dragon" book that he did (the latter, quite provocative for a medieval times book, ahem).

Thanks for the advice, then; if I get what you're saying then, yes, I DON'T need a watered-down version of that bone-chilling tale, muuuuuahhahaha!

Whaaaaa . . . I didn't even get around to seeing The Grudge (U.S.) either.
