I liked it! Not absolutely blown away like with some of the others this year, but a good spooky time was had!

I'm gonna have to check out at least the American remake to compare and contrast, even if I don't dive into the sequels (on one or both sides of the Pacific)

Tonight, dipping my toe into J-Horror again (after House) with 1998's RING.

I know all the memes, but let's see the movie!

Oh no is she going to use the copy to kill her dad for her son? But like ... won't HE have to do it? Does the curse understand proxies????

TOWEL MAN IN THE TV REFLECTION

But not there for real. Is good.

Okay so she pulls the video out of the tv and we have a shot putting a lot of importance on the blackboard all of a sudden ... so what DOES it mean?

It's also freaky that it doesn't always happen at night, but the sun can be up.

Did she pass it on to him because he watched it after she did?

But if so, what about the kid? Different copy? Is he still cursed?

OH SHIT so Reiko escaped the curse but Ryuji didn't???

I wonder what the math (?) on the chalkboard is. Background detail, that doesn't seem like it has been part of the story, but still, what's it mean? What's it about?

Really good effect and shot, too, the way Reiko brushes her hair away from her face and it just slides off, revealing at first what might be a disfigured, bloated face, but no - skull! And then it begins to weep...

Ohhhh Sadako's skull crying is a good touch.

The composer's no John Carpenter but the score is definitely putting in the work.

Ooooo blood and flesh stuck to the stones in the well, but it looks fresher than Many Years Old.

From outta nowhere it's The Doctor with the bat!

... I joke but yeah that was kinda brutal and shocking even if I was kinda expecting it.

Igneous Sigil @igneoussigil.bsky.social · 11h

Ooooo the flashback is good. And Sadako is creepy, not just the hair, but the movements, her fingers when she grabs Reiko's wrist.

OH NO, the kid watched the tape! Because he was dared to by another kid?

Who knew he had the tape? Or, mmm, are there multiple copies out there circulating?

"Frolic in brine, goblins be thine"

Ohhh can't wait to find out what this means, that's got a nice mouthfeel

"At this angle the cameraman should also appear in the mirror"

Clearly she didn't see Contact the year before.

(one of the coolest shots I've ever seen on film)

OH NO so the distortion in pictures is evidence you've been cursed!

So this guy is named Ryuji, which makes it slightly harder to take seriously, because I think of Persona 5 and also my friend's ORANGE cat named for him
