		Ringu is worth tracking down and seeing just to catch the repeated viewings of the curse film.
		Ringu is a wonderfully crafted little gem, and certainly deserving of its worldwide success.
		Originally released in Japan in 1998, Ringu (remade by Hollywood as The Ring, and released recently in Manila as Ring: Circle of Evil), is definitely one of the scariest and creepiest films I have ever seen.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Ringu Anthology of Terror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Ringu – The one that started it all — the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, Hideo Nakata's 1998 horror film was adapted from the novel The Ring by Koji Suzuki and then remade as The Ring for American audiences.
		Ringu: Rasen –; With the phenomenal success of Ringu, this sequel was made as quickly as possible and shoved into theaters the same year.
		Ringu 0 is a surprisingly effective psychological drama, but those looking for a truly scary follow-on to Ringu will once again be disappointed — as will those hoping that this third sequel will answer all of their questions in a tidy little package — it doesn't.

	comiXtreme - Ringu
		Ringu was far more subtle and had more of a slow-burn pace.
		Ringu 2 is an original story where the director simply took the first film and built on that with a completely different story.
		July 9th 2004 09:01 AM The Ring is no where near Ringu, Ringu beats the Ring in, Foto, Acting also its way creepier and has better script, about everything is better in Ringu and yet the Ringu had budget far from as high as the budget of the Ring.

	RINGU (2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)*
		They are physically unharmed but died with a look of fear and horror on their faces.
		However, on watching RINGU I have to say that it is not a particularly impressive movie.
		RINGU can be watched in sort of an automatic fashion -- it is, incidentally, not a blood-and-gore film -- but it won't disturb your sleep.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Ringu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Not only was Ringu a better story and went in a different and more enjoyable direction than the story The Ring was trying to tell, but it all made 100% sense by the end of the movie and cleared up all the unanswered questions i'd had about The Ring.
		The scene where the girl comes through the tv made sense in Ringu due to the different approach to the story and the explaination of things, whereas in The Ring it just looked like a Hollywood afterthought that was tagged on for shock purposes.
		The video in "Ringu" is less than half as long as the one in "The Ring" and is at least thirty times less chilling and upsetting.

	Ringu
		Now, Dreamworks Home Entertainment has seen fit to release the original film, Ringu, on DVD in the U.S. Ringu presents the idea of an urban legend which states that those who watch a certain videotape will receive a phone call informing them that they are going to die in seven days.
		Instead of spending its time beating the viewer over the head with plot, Ringu and director Hideo Nakata are more concerned with creating an atmosphere and mood, and they succeed in making one of the creepiest films in years.
		Dreamworks has given Ringu a new Dolby Digital 5.1 Japanese audio track, which is light years ahead of the Dolby 2.0 track which was featured on the Tartan disc.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Ringu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Ringu was hugely successful in Japan, spawning a couple of equally successful sequels and garnering a reputation as a mind-numbingly terrifying piece of horror cinema.
		The plot of both Ringu and The Ring are identical: Two high school girls discuss an urban legend about a mysterious tape that causes viewers to die exactly one week after they watch it.
		DreamWorks has released Ringu in conjunction with their DVD release of The Ring, offering a pristine anamorphic transfer (1.85:1) from an all-new high definition digital master with a very good Japanese audio track in Dolby Digital 5.1 — subtitles are available in English, French, and Spanish.

	Ringu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Ringu includes quite a bit of the subtle dread and sheer eeriness that moviegoers love about its remake, but it tells somewhat of a different story.
		Before Ringu is over, the viewer will have experienced a flood of spookiness, a good old-fashioned mystery mixed in with the elements one would find in something like The Others or Signs.
		Ringu leaves things for the viewer to decide, but its artistry with the horror genre, the film's ability to scare and intrigue, is unquestionable.

	JoBlo's Movie Club - Am I the only person who disliked Ringu?
		Ringu isn't without its merits (the ending is highly disturbing), but it felt bland overall.
		Also, the material in the videotape in Ringu is a little too short and somewhat unfulfilling, and the woman in the video isn't nearly as creepy looking as the Anna Morgan character.
		There are two crucial scenes in Ringu I prefer over the U.S. rendition; one is the scene right after the journalist watches the tape for the first time and sees that freaky reflection on the television screen.

	Ringu 2 (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In Ringu, Reiko and Ryuji are the two who deal with the task of unlocking the mystery.
		Ringu 2 shows the deadly force of Sadako's fury as people are drawn in without even knowing it.
		After the events of Ringu, it's safe to say that some people are skeptical and don't believe in the curse...and find out the truth the hard way.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Ringu (1998)
		Ringu was originally a novel (and sequels) by Suzuki Koji, and it was filmed for television in 1995.
		Despite her freakish appearence in all the flashbacks in Ringu and Ringu 2, we're now told that she was beautiful high school student.
		Ringu 0 plays like a lame Carrie rip-off until the final few minutes, when it plays like a better Carrie rip-off and Sadako finally goes on the killing spree we've known was coming since early on.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Ringu Movie Review
		The story revolves around an urban legend centering on a strange videotape which inflicts a curse on its viewers: exactly one week after seeing its contents people are found dead, their faces frozen in twisted expressions of terror.
		Ringu's intensity is subtly built up; there are no violent sequences, there's not a trace of gore, and "shocker" sequences of the kind mentioned above can be counted on the thumbs of one hand.
		On the Ringu DVD I saw, there was a special feature that allowed the viewer to see the cursed video in its entirety, from beginning to end -- an immensely eerie collage of indistinct, faintly nonsensical images, pulsating letters, and an inexplicably frightening soundtrack.

	dvdfuture.com :: Review - Ringu
		Where "Ringu" can stand on its' own is in the logic department.
		A major difference in "Ringu" from "The Ring" is the introduction of Asakawa's ex-husband, Ryuji Takayama(Hiroyuki Sanada), a university professor.
		"Ringu" has one glaring weakness when compared to "The Ring." When the spirit girl crawls out of the television set near the end of the movie, the spirit girl does not look frightening.

	Exploded Goat - movie feature
		In Ringu, the origin of the tape is clear.
		In Ringu, the draining of the well is more realistic, and, as a result, more suspenseful.
		Ringu performs well the business of horror movies: it is scary, and it has a premise and execution that overcome some very real problems with the script.

	Ringu : Entertaining Comments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		It's well known that Japan is several years ahead of the USA as far as technology, and as seen Lost in Translation, the wave of mass communication leads to absurdity.
		Ringu acts on the same premise but in a very different way.
		The remake was a good movie, but it just didn't inspire the same primal emotions or incorporate the same wit as the original.

	Denkyu.com - Occult: Ringu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		'Ringu 0: Birthday' explores the world 30 years prior to 'Ringu 1' and 'The Ring" It tells the story of a young Sadako, the girl who is doomed to haunt the minds of many.
		A good horror movie shouldn't depend on blood and violence to scare the audience, it should use the fear that lives within its audience, the suspense within the storyline itself, and the haunting tune that echoes through the movie to scare its audience.
		Although 'Ringu' is not a series for the whole family, it is a great film to watch over Halloween.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, RINGU (1998)
		There is an almost drowsy pace to the first act, culminating in Reiko nodding off as she sits in the cabin, trying to figure out what her next step is in the search for the broadcast which is, at that moment, simply an urban legend.
		RINGU is a Japanese film and the situations, motivations, and events are steeped in Japanese culture.
		RINGU is one of the highest-grossing motion pictures ever released in Japan and probably would have had a bigger impact here if it had been given a chance in theaters.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Hideo Nakata's Ringu (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Moody, well shot, and well acted, Ringu is as rich and deep as a good horror movie should be, leaving real reasons for a sequel instead of the standard lame excuses.
		Ringu takes much effort to play up on the hopelessness of our heroes’ fight to stay alive in their battle to fight an unseen enemy who seems to want something from them.
		Ringu makes effective use of music for the effect of creating proper mood, and while some of the picture might be a little too quiet at first, it all comes together as things get rolling.

	Ring (Japanese Version) aka Ringu DVD Review. DVD VISION JAPAN (DVD VISION)
		Soon, it became a movie divided into two parts; Ringu and Spiral, which were released in the mid 90's, and were so wildly successful they were followed by yet another sequel.
		The American re-make of Ringu called The Ring was very close in concept and in story to the original movie Ringu, but its never had the following the original had.
		Also, the story was much faster paced than Ringu, which tended to plod quite a bit, then get suspenseful, and then plod again and get suspenseful, but because there were so many moments in The Ring that tried to make me jump I ended up not being scared at all.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Ringu
		Before there was The Ring, there was Ringu, the Japanese horror/thriller that was remade virtually verbatim from this original.
		A skeptic TV station employee discovers the tape after her cousin watches it and dies, watches it herself, and soon draws her ex-husband and nephew into the quest to find out more about the tape's origins and, hopefully, avoid death for all three of them.
		Ringu is very atmospheric and often creepy, especially in its last half hour, but it's hardly chilling enough to keep you up at night.

	Cinema Confidential Review: Ringu (2002)
		"Ringu" is truly one scary movie and I would venture to say that it\'s scarrier than "The Exorcist," the movie I considered "The Scarriest Movie of All-Time" before I saw this one.
		"Ringu" leaves a lot of elements about the backstory up to the viewer\'s imagination\; a much better approach in a horror film than the need for rational explanations.
		In the end, "Ringu" is an example that the original, in most cases, reigns supreme over any remake, even if the remake has a higher budget and major film studio behind its back.

		The reason for the horses in the remake is simply for the shot where it kicks the door or whatever and it dents, this is because the director is a fan of Dark Water.

	Amazon.com: Ringu (1998): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Ringu starts out very much like its American counterpart, with two young girls alone in a house discussing the rumors going around about a video that somehow kills you seven days after you watch it.
		In Ringu, the cursed tape is much shorter and far less symbolic, although its grainy appearance and comparative simplicity add a greater dash of realism to it.
		Ringu's storyline is much more compact and straightforward, providing us with much less insight into the forces at play in explaining the existence of the cursed video.

	Horrorview:Ringu vs. The Ring
		Verbinski's Ring created a fear for the wee girl by adding in some excellent dialogue between Samara and the doctor while she was being evaluated in the psych ward.
		While Ringu focused more on the father (Koichi) being an intricate part of the fold, The Ring had young Aidan as the center of psychic attention.
		Watching Ringu made me realize that the movie was primed for a sequel and omitted some of the major factors that helped The Ring execute so well.
