My daughter wants to see this movie. Not sure I want to – need to find someone with the stomach to go with her!
I watched the Ring and it was pretty creepy! I may see this in the future with my Bestie. We tend to watch scary movies together.
I remember seeing the first one at my friend’s house when we were in high school. And the part where it looks like she’s gonna crawl out the TV screen had me SCREAMING!
The first ever movie freaked me out and it was in Japanese! It haunted me for days… lol! I’m sure this one is going to be really scary as well! I can’t even watch the trailer alone.
One of the most scariest movie I have ever seen. It was a thrilling experience though.
That’s pretty interesting how all three have had different directors for the films. I remember when the first one came out, I couldn’t sleep after watching it. I was terrified.
This freaks me out a little, I applaud the franchise for their ability to scare really good. I think this one’s going to be reminiscent of the first ever ring movie.
Oh no no no no no. Not watching this one, sorry! LOL (I’m a big scaredy cat!)
The original Japanese version is still my favorite. Not a fan of horror movies, though. 😉
