I saw the original, it's ok, not exceptional but interesting - so what about the remake? Here's a critic:

SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE

If you value original foreign films and would appreciate more creative subtitling/dubbing, then you have to STOP Hollywood from demeaning the integrity of the material with these sub-par remakes. Your MONEY is your vote in this situation, so don't spend it on a remake at the theater when you can rent the original on DVD. Send Hollywood a message that we want the ORIGINALS, not bad copies.

(2002)-Dir. by Hideo Nakata ("Ringu") - In Japanese (subtitled)

NOTE: This film was only allowed a severely limited release in USA theaters back in June - never came to NYC I know that much] IMDb rating: 7.1

SEND Hollywood A MESSAGE - RENT THE ORIGINAL AND SKIP THE REMAKE!!!
