A japanese horror that has nothing to do with a Ring -what so ever-

I've just got back from a mates place and from watching this film Xp

Its about a wierd video tape where if you watch it you will die in a week. Obviously it doesnt include the people watching a video about a killer video (e.g. us )

lol there were four of us watching it and we were all freaked Xo it is without doubt one hellova freaky film and the end... omg we might as well pissed ourselves lol.

I hear there is a part2 and a part0 which is the third film but based on events before part1

Not one to watch alone.

I also want to watch some film called the Eye? about some woman who was blind from birth has new eyes replaced. Suppose to see the dead? lol maybe she got some dead guy eyes.

If you've seen the Ring reply and say what you felt about it XB other than that, know any other Japanese made movies out?

Damn, I wanna see the Japanese version of The Ring. Seems like I will only be able to see the Hollywood rip-off (which is still supposed to be good tho) :

I saw the Japanese one on VCD awhile back bad thing is that it was in japanese with chinese subtitles..... My chinese friend was translating so i had only the visuals! I have to say that movie just creeped the heck outta me!! Double cause i had very little idea what was going on!!

They made a game out of it for Dreamcast. And changed the videotape concept to a video game ??? thought it was a neat idea??

OH but the Ring was all about the telephone ringing when the video stopped and when your time was up!

There is an American Version?! lol

But man the victims all died from sheer horror >_> their death expression was freaky enough.

O hey Song you must of seen part1 then. Right at the end what would you have done in that guys place? I would have booted her head back into the tv then jump out of the window semi nakid o_o;;

That was the most scary part Xo

I rekkon I've seen The Ring, remember something very similar anyway... I didn't think it was scary at all! Apparently it gets scarier with the sequels... I dunno. The only film which ever scared me properly was The Exorcist... I saw it at the cinema when it was re-released (snuck in - I was only about 15!) and couldn't sleep with the light off for two weeks...! *blush*

I havn't seen any version of the movie as of yet, but I know some people who saw the American film and they were freaked out to no end. It's being toted as one of the scariest movies ever.

I've only had proper nightmares about 3 times as an adult... twice, I can't remember what happened. It's really weird. I wake up, and I'm covered in cold sweat, and shaking like a leaf, and I can remember EXACTLY what I was so scared of, so I spend about the next half hour being terrified, and then I block it permenantly from my mind. And then I can't remember. All I can remember about it now, was that there was some sort of big ship (like Noah's ark) and I was the boss of building it. There were loads of workers. And I stood on this cliff above them all - with my palms touching. And as I moved my hands apart, the ship grew larger, and got out of control, until it killed everyone and crushed me to death (I think). But I'm not sure, a lot of it's very dim and hazy now... I've only ever dreamt that twice, and both times I was really stressed out.
Weirdest thing about it was when I woke up, I sat there in bed crying and shivering with my hands pressed together, I was too scared to move them apart - so scared I couldn't even get up and switch on the light! Freakish, huh?

And the other nightmare was one of those ones where your body goes to sleep but your mind's still semi-conscious, so all your muscles are paralyzed and you can't move at all... they're fairly well documented, and quite common I think. Got the dark figure standing at the end of my bed. Scary at the time, cause I thought I was awake, but I wasn't. My boyfriend woke me up (apparently I was making little weird squeaky noises and breathing really erratically) - I was trying to call out for help!
I remember in the dream I got out of bed and ran for the light switch (weird, as I was paralyzed) and when I switched on the light all the bedroom walls were dark red and shiny, colour of blood.... ugh. *shivers* They're pale blue in real life...

Interesting o_o nightmares...

Im not sure if this is a nightmare or not but I've had it twice now Xp

I'm there sleeping as normal facing down when I feel something odd on my back, I try to move but I can't. My arms my legs won't move at all and the pressure on my back gets a little intense, so I try to make a cry for help but I can't seem to move my mouth Xo

At this point I could feel ripples of movements on my back.

Then Im screaming in my head Move! Move! Move damnit! But I just couldn't move at all even my fingers were dead ;_;

My whole body was paralyzed and something is pinning me down. White nose was all I could hear, eventually at the peak of this madness I would shoot out of bed like a rocket Xp and all became well 9__9

After the second time it happened I evaluated and came up with a possible answer.

It could be that I was still in an unconcious state. So my body was resting but a part of my mind was active and trying to move, also my sleeping position was the same as the 1st time. Half asleep shall I say? X3 maybe sleep walking is possible if I could move Xp

But if I'm wrong then this House o mine needs some serious checking! dun wanna be posessed by ghosts n such Xp

Whoa Pixie you got the visitor! If there's one thing that can give my spline cold chills, it's that XO Never had it myself, but I've seen a documentary about it... Some people actually had it with that figure sitting on top of you or pulling your sheets >.<

I hardly dream tho (or in any case I don't remember them). I don't have nightmares much either. Last time I scared myself awake I didn't even remember why x_x;
