Sadako is so tall and motivated she would kill it as a lesbian
Blue GhostsJun 11, 2018i just love sadako so much & this is one of the best ambient horror mood tapes ever. it just has such a quiet calm to it while also being consistently eerie. it feels like looking at the sea under overcast skies. an autumnal chill. the remoteness of forgotten or abandoned…

i woulda just walked out the front door when she came out the tv
rhesusnegativeMar 21, 2020I mean, OF COURSE this is a 5 star film. Not only did it kick off a decade long Asian horror craze, but it also defined a genre and delivered a genuinely creepy and unsettling movie that would be endlessly duplicated in the same way as Halloween, NOES, or Friday the 13th.…

Ultimo_Joe lovedRingI know my review says I loved this movie but that it’s only from a critical and cinematic point of view. What I mean is, literally everything about this movie was incredible and knew exactly what it was doing and was able to do it almost perfectly but I hope I never see it again.

nevan likedRingdeserves much more love than the infamous remake, considering that it does everything better by a pretty significant margin. truly eerie atmosphere with some dated but endearing effects, a modern horror classic
Jacob Hall lovedRingGrew on me. Originally thought it was disappointing since I've seen the US one first, but rewatch it with an open mind and you will love it. Greatest Japanese horror of all time
