Dude, The Ring and Silent Hill are the only movies and video games that are capable of scaring me. Aside from that, they're BEAUTIFULLY done.
I will give you cancer with my mind if anyone badmouths them again!
It's same thing for me too ! But I don't think that Ring was an inspiration for Silent Hill (maybe for THE ring, but I haven't watched it yet : a friend said that's a shit so ...)
The only thing they've in common is they're both very scary, IMO.

I liked it. It's a little darker all around than the Japanese movies. It combines some plot elements from the first two together. I remember someone complaining about the corpses not looking right. Stupid purists. I still found The Ring to be really enjoyable. It's a very creepy experience. And it doesn't go the typical American "show you every bit of gore" route. One of the better horror movies I've seen in a while, honestly.

Man, the corpses were the icing on the cake. The lighting, cinematography, blah blah were all awesome and creepy as hell, but the image that ALWAYS sticks with me and creeps me out the most is the shot of Katie in the closet. Not only is it extremely freaky and disturbing, but it's totally unexpected when it showed up.
And Kyo, man... I thought you had called The Ring and Silent Hill gay. That's why I had that reaction... heh heh. Sorry. But all of you are right- The Ring and SH are not related. I can see a similarity in the mood and feel of SH and Ring, but there's no way they're related otherwise.
And Porcellino- see The Ring (US version) whenever you get the chance. I think the DVD's coming out soon...
Hey look! I finally made a stupid tag!

I much prefer psychological scares rather than blood and guts. Blood and guts is cool and all, but it's not scary. Silent Hill scares me, Resident Evil never has. They've made me a little nervous once or twice and startled me a few times, but I was never SCARED.

I totally agree. I was AFRAID to play Silent Hill 1. That thing was the most EVIL game I have ever played. Damn it! My nephew and I would play it and force each other to use the controller cause we were both so f'ing scared of it. ResEvil is scary, but not in the same way. They're two different games, both are horror but ResEvil is more B Movie. And SH is more- scary, I don't know. I gotta play that game again!

The thing that amused me about the US version of the Ring was that they left in the lines that there was nothing wrong with bodies of the initial victims except for the expressions on their faces when the pictures of the bodies showed that there was MOST CERTAINLY something wrong with them. It was a bit of a gaffe in the dialogue but the shot of the dead body was freaky so it didn't matter. As for SH coming from the Ring, I have no idea where people are getting that from. Are they under the delusion that the Ring game on the DC came out before SH1?

Huh... I never noticed the "nothing was wrong with the bodies" line... I always just heard stuff like "Why did her heart stop??? She was so young!" and mentioning that CREEEEEPY look on her face. Otherwise, I didn't notice anything that you were talking about.

Perhaps there wasn't a specific line about "nothing wrong with the bodies" but while they did mention the look on her face and her heart stopping nobody seemed that concerned that the rest of her body wasn't looking that hot either. Then again, I could have been watching the movie playing in my head instead of the one on the screen and I'm accidentally making the whole thing up. Oh well, the Ring [both of them] come out on DVD next week so I'll have to rewatch the film and see how faulty my memory really is.

The only thing I could think of that would tell me that they realized she was absolutely messed up was some lady asking another at the wake about Katie being on drugs or something... I don't know.
I just reserved the US and Japanese Ring DVD's, both come out Tuesday. I saw the full-screen one at the store and I got all excited... then I found out that I have to wait until TUESDAY for the widescreen. That blows.
As for your new avatar, man......... I didn't realize what it was at first, but after a second I got it and it's really freaking me out.... I like it, though.
