Review of Ringu

Ringu (1998)
8/10
Everyone knows the story by now but the movie is still worth it

I remember back when I was a kid (7 or 8 years old), there were already talks about this movie. The word "Skambutis" (en: Ring) still has a strong connotation linked with this movie as it's a cult classic. I even watched it after being exposed to it by my older cousins and even though I don't remember 95% of the plot, I do remember the chills (it's worth to mentiom that I watched the english adaptation if the movie back then). So how do these memories hold up to the original?

Well, the movie is great - you're under the constant pressure and the tone of the movie always makes you feel like something bad might happen at any second. Of course we have some very iconic scenes and a lot is left for us to see berween the lines, which makes for a great personal experience. I'm not a big fan of the supernatural but this concept mostly works for me.
