My mom on the other hand, it depends. I wanted to go see this one because it intrigued me. My mom was nice and took me even though she warned me it might be a little more intense than other things I had seen before. Not only that, we went on a day that was gloomy and rainy and in general very reminiscent of the movie. I was so stoked.

Needless to say, I ended up getting the ever living crap scared out of me. Only time I have ever curled up in my seat and trembled like a baby. I wasn’t crying but boy was I scared o_o My mom was surprised too, because like I said, I don’t get moved that easily during movies. She even asked me and said it was okay if I wanted to leave. But no! I had to tough it out and see the end! After that I was worried for days that I was going to die e.e

I saw the Ringu after. I liked it a lot as well, they were both very good in their own ways. I don’t know what struck me so strongly the first time I saw The Ring. I watched the Ringu no problem (probably because I knew what to expect). Even after that I watched The Ring no problem as well.

I just kind of chalk it up to the fact that it was my first experience with the Japanese horror influence/genre and I had NO idea what I was going in to XD After that though I haven’t been freaked out by another movie since. I really enjoyed Ju-On and The Locker (not sure what it’s actually called in Japanese). Kairo, Marebito, Tomie, Audition. And that’s not even half of the Asian/Japanese horror movies I absolutely love XD But seriously. Some of the creepiest ones I’ve seen were on a DVD my friend lent me. It was a DVD with five to seven Japanese horror shorts on it. And I know Kairo was the actual full length feature, but to this day, the short about the red tape/red room was by far the creepiest rendition I’ve seen.
