    Not another Ring remake...

    When I noticed this advertised in my film mag, I was interested to find out what this was about. I fairly soon realised that this was a Korean remake of Hideo Nakata's original Japanese film, and I mean remake - i.e. the story is almost identical. For those of you who haven't seen either the original or US remake (where have you been?), the film is about a cursed video that promises to kill its watcher exactly one week after they have finished the tape. The film then follows a relative of one of the tapes victims as she tries to solve the riddle before its too late. I really can't recommend this remake, especially if you have seen Hideo Nakata's original, since it is such a blatant copy. The biggest problem here is the fact that they have managed to copy a great horror film and remove all of the scares - that just doesn't seem right!! My advice is still to stick to the original or even the US remake.
