Agreed. Hope they don't get their mitts on the Tomie series. The Ring did have some good special effects, but didn't really capture the creep factor of Ringu. Ring Virus (Korean version) probably spelled out the story best, but in such slow painful detail that it was like a long "director's cut" version of the Hollywood film minus the special effects. Still, it is interesting to compare all three of them.
The Grudge wasn't bad and had some nice visuals here and there, but Ju-on was definitely creepier. Think I'm becoming a fan of Japanese horror flicks... even the really fun, odd-ball frollicks like Moon over Tao (samura, aliens, monsters and wizards all rolled into one film).
