the ringworld - the ring virus Apparently there has been some debate as to the Ring vs. The Ring Virus, regarding which is closer to the novel, which was produced first and even whether The Ring Virus is a remake at all. To address this last point, The Ring Virus is most definitely a remake, with shots replicated from the Japanese film right down to the color of clothes worn by the characters. Ring Virus also expands Sun-ju and Choe Yol's investigation to include Sun-ju's senior reporter (Yoshino in the Japanese version) as in the novel, thankfully eschewing the disposable Okazaki. www.theringworld.com /ringvirus.php   (545 words)

the ringworld - ring 2 What made the first Ring so terrifying was its mystery, how so little was known of Yamamura Sadako or the videotape she made cursed. To its credit, Ring 2 does have a few chilling scenes, and is one of those rare sequels that seeks to add more to the original story instead of simply rehashing it. We know from the first Ring that Sadako was still alive when thrown into the well, but now it looks like she was alive down there for 30 years... www.theringworld.com /ring2.php   (333 words)

The Ring Virus In this chilling Korean adaptation of the mega-popular horror hit The Ring, Journalist Sun-Ju is investigating the sudden death of her cousin. If you read the book Ring, Spiral, and Loop, you'd find out that the book was more of a detective and supernatural storyline, not exactly meant to scare the socks off you, but to pick at your mind.if you are used to actually having to think when you watch a movie. "Ring Virus" has one or two interesting things going for it, but the stumbling direction and terrible Eun-suh are enough to sink it. www.amarillometro.com /shopping/the-ring-virus_B0002B55X4.html   (1210 words)

the Ring - Sadako, Samara and the cursed videotape the Ring - Sadako, Samara and the cursed videotape That film was the Ring (aka Ringu), and by 2002 it had been remade in both Korea and the United States, with the film's villainess -- whether known as Yamamura Sadako, Eun-Suh or Samara Morgan -- fascinating and terrifying moviegoers across the globe.

The Ring Virus (1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Ring Virus, is all three mixed together but still changed to much to be excellent. Personally The Ring being the first one of the entire series which includes over 5 films that I have seen is my favorite, followed by the book Ringu. They keep very true to her and her story, also the title Ring Virus is very true to the book Ringu, because in the book the author refers to the Ring mystery as a virus that must be spread. www.imdb.com /title/tt0289424   (421 words)

Korean Version of the Ring is better than its stateside Counterpart! Ring is a remarkably well shot thriller with all the great acting and special effects of the original. Ring is a much more sexually-charged and suggestive thriller with surprises galore for even the most avid of Ringu aficionados. Ring (1999) reviewed by J.C. Maçek III who is alone responsible for his views and for the his feeling saucy when watching Asian Mysteries. www.worldsgreatestcritic.com /ringvirus.html   (926 words)

Ring (film) - The film was later remade in Korea as The Ring Virus (1999), and in the United States as The Ring (2002). All three films retain the basic premise of a cursed videotape that kills the viewer seven days after being watched (a plot device that was central to an earlier novel, "Rune" by Christopher Fowler in 1990). The Ring and Rasen (released in English as Ring and Spiral respectively) were best-selling novels by Koji Suzuki. www.psychcentral.com /psypsych/Ringu   (504 words)

Ring Virus, The DVD, NTSC Region 3, by Dong-bin Kim at FAB Press Online The monstrously influential Japanese film Ring (1998) was remade for Korean audiences by director Kim Dong-bin as The Ring Virus, starring popular TV actress Shin Eun-Kyung. A videotape and a ringing phone still signal impending doom in The Ring Virus, but here the story emerges in a more linear fashion, resulting in a hint more mystery in the early reels. 'Ring Virus, despite a later release than Ring, manages to be original and even surprising, thanks to many developments not found in the Japanese version, darkly beautiful in its images and, yes, bone-chilling. www.fabpress.com /perl/search.pl?CO=DVD074   (389 words)

The Ring Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net In addition, "Ring" inspired the 1999 South Korean-Japanese co-production entitled "The Ring Virus", which was essentially a remake of "Ringu", and was pilfered in the recent William Malone shocker "FearDotCom", which revolved around a 'killer' web site ('you download, you die!'). "The Ring" kicks off with Seattle journalist Rachel Keller (Watts) investigating the sudden and mysterious deaths of her niece Katie (Amber Tamblyn, seen recently on the "Evergreen" episode of UPN's "The Twilight Zone") and three of her friends. Though "The Ring" essentially retreads material from the 1998 Japanese film, Verbinski skillfully ratchets up the tension gradually as Rachel and Noah's investigation unfolds, while his visual style, which makes good use of gloomy Washington vistas, imparts an atmosphere of imminent doom to the proceedings. www.mediacircus.net /ring.html   (861 words)

the ringworld - ring Ø Nakama Yukie is brilliant in her portrayal of Sadako as a young girl frightened of her own power, and is able to draw the audience into her fear as the story moves toward its inevitable conclusion. Watching Ring Ø is like reading the secret diary of your worst enemy and finding out they're not all that different from you, with fears and frailties of their own. Make no mistake, though: watching Ring Ø means you'll have to not only purge yourself of the slick, techno-horror influence of Ring and Ring 2, but also love the "slow burn" of classic Agatha Christie mysteries. www.theringworld.com /ring0.php   (358 words)

Hollywood Gothique: The Ring Virus (2000) - Review THE RING VIRUS has a few good moments that make it interesting for fans of the franchise (or for cinefiles interested in seeing how the same story is filtered through the lens of a different set of filmmakers), but overall it is a negligible achievement. As in RING, the lead character is a female reporter Sun-Joo (Eun-Kyung Shin) who investigates the mysterious death of her neice, uncovering a fatal videotape that kills all those who watch it, after seven days. Curiously, THE RING VIRUS includes a few moments not in the original RING which nevertheless found their way into the American remake: In flashback, we see Eun-Su's mother leaping off a cliff. www.hollywoodgothique.com /ringvirus2000.html   (494 words)

Asia Pacific Arts: Make a Copy, Pass it On Nevertheless, for fans like myself, the announcement that The Ring Two would be directed by Nakata seemed a godsend since he could now have the resources either to make the sequel he had always intended to, or that he could craft a completely new entry into the Ring series. Unfortunately, The Ring Two is not a remake of an adaptation, or a remake of Nakata’s sequel, but a sequel of Verbinski’s remake. The Ring Two also borrows explicitly from Hollywood genre conventions by casting Sissy Spacek as Samara’s disturbed mother in a reversal of her role in Brian DePalma’s classic Carrie. www.asiaarts.ucla.edu /article.asp?parentid=22057   (1571 words)

STUDY ON PRUNUS NECROTIC RING SPOT VIRUS IN GREECE Prunus necrotic ring spot virus (PNRSV) is one of the viruses occurring widespread in Prunus spp. The study of this virus was undertaken as part of a state research program aiming at the development of diagnostic techniques for certification purposes.

Korean Movie Review | Ring Virus (1999) Eun-Kyung Shin ans of the Naomi Watts horror film "The Ring" may be surprise to learn that the US remake wasn't the first attempt at redoing the story. But Choi is insightful enough to realize there might be a supernatural explanation for all the goings on, and dogged enough to pursue the angle when most would dismiss the theory as crazy. It is an effort worthy of "The Ring" moniker and fans of the films and books will enjoy this retelling. www.beyondhollywood.com /reviews/ringvirus.htm   (487 words)

Ring Virus: Korean Remake Of "Ring" (Region-All) The Ring Virus (hereafter referred to as Ring) is framed in the genre style of so many other ordinary Korean horror/thriller films such as, Whispering Corridor or A Quiet Family, but with a unique character of its own. Ring is a movie that frightens viewers simply with the story line and mood it creates. Ring is an official selection for the Fant-Asia Film Festival opening this summer in Montreal. www.movietyme.com /specsheets/ring_virus.shtml   (842 words)

cityonfire.com | Ring Virus When "Ring" came out in theatres, it's impact around Asia was so huge that it spawned some sequels, a prequel and even a Hollywood remake. This may be an invalid opinion since I watched "Ring Virus" first, but it's apparent that "Ring Virus" was more intense, had better performances and was a lot more slick. One thing is certain, all of the "Ring" movies were very exaggerated when it came to the hype over it's creepiness. www.cityonfire.com /korean/ringvirus.html   (473 words)

Into Liquid Sky - Movie Reviews While the American version brought this story to popular light in North America and the Japanese version was credited with influencing it, I would have to say that the Korean version, The Ring Virus, is actually the most true to the original novel. Before the seven days are up, they discover that she, in fact, is dead and they must solve her murder in hopes of breaking the curse. The problem is that The Ring Virus really feels like it was slapped together to cash in on the Ringu craze while it was still hot on that side of the world. www.intoliquidsky.net /site/movie_reviews/ring_virus.html   (521 words)

Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1999 Of the films to be born of this trend, however, The Ring Virus is likely the scariest. The Ring Virus opens with a journalist named Sun-ju investigating the sudden death of her cousin, who was one in a string of similar deaths around the city. The Ring Virus lacks the earthy mysticism of the Japanese original, but it does provide a more detailed rendering of the plot and some interesting variations on the story. www.koreanfilm.org /kfilm99.html   (6125 words)

The Ring (American version) It was entitled RING (but the export title was "The Ring Virus" and was a nice companion to the Japanese version with a few exceptions. Americans are obsessed with the reason behind everything, stuff like - eh, like the ring is not like a telephone ring, but the ring of circle of evil and the well imagery that comes along with it. The ring is a marketing success in US, but as a film, I much rather watch the low tech version and be shocked they can pull off the last scene to such reality. www.greggman.com /edit/editheadlines/2002-10-23.htm|template=print|lang=english|?q   (2846 words)

DVD Talk Forum - Ring 0! Holy crap! A note to Ring fans...the American remake is going to be released in August of 2002 (stars Naomi Watts of Mulholland Drive). These are US etailers and their prices (for Ring and Audition for example) end up beeing 4-5 USD higher than European converted prices but when you factor in shipping/customs/brokerage it might end up beeing cheaper or equivalent. The Korean Ring Virus was actually done in parallel with the Japanese Ring not as a remake. www.dvdtalk.com /forum/printthread.php?t=171331   (460 words)

Flipside Movie Emporium: The Ring Virus Movie Review Furthermore, the lean, mysterious feel of the original is compromised by the inclusion of background material that Nakata and Takahashi removed. Taken aside from its Japanese predecessor, The Ring Virus is still not particularly successful. Perhaps because of the success of The Ring Virus, Nakata's sequel did reasonably well at the box office. www.flipsidemovies.com /ringvirus.html   (576 words)
