The only movie that made the hair on my neck stand up in the last ten years was ‘The Ring’. It came out several years ago and is based on a Japanese film. I didn’t know anything about it and ‘dicovered’ it about 2am during a bout of insomnia....

Don’t read up on it, just watch it if you haven’t seen it yet. Spooky stuff.

Have you ever seen Ringu? The original Japanese version. Holy Poo my Pants!!!! That was TONS scarier than The Ring. In fact, I had to watch it on a computer because we bought it from Japan. I was in the computer room and thought it had ended. I said to my husband, “Well that wasn’t all that scary.”
THEN it continued to the end. I just kept staring at the screen saying, “Oh hell no.”
I didn’t sleep at all that night.

The other one is Ju-on, which means The Grudge. Yikes! There is a particular sound in it, that when you find out what it is, will creep you out for a good long time.

Those horror movies are made for pre-teen girls so there is not blood or gore, just freak you out stuff.

The Ring was the first movie I saw with my now wife.

It is a movie where you have to choose to suspend your disbelief - worthwhile in a f-with-your-head way.

Was that the one with the night nurse and the dying medium?

Agreed. DO NOT look it up. Just watch it.

I heard the Jap version is better. I saw the American.
