On the subject of the Ring remake, I found this kinda interesting.
"According to a spokesman for Asmik Ace Entertainment, the idea to hold the service was conceived to speed Sadako along to the afterlife in order to welcome the new horror soon to arrive from Hollywood."
...or, to put it another way, once Hollywood gets hold of it the character and beautifully crafted concepts are as good as dead anyway.
Actually on a less sarcastic note, my concern isn't that the Ring remake is a mediocre film, rather that the sequels - of which I expect there to be many - will be so incredibly dire as to utter wipe out any interest in the original story....which is another irritating point, since Suzuki Koji's novels have been translated into every European language so far, except English. Argh.
I'd forgotten about Session 9, great film for so little budget. Am I right in thinking that's where one where one of the workers is chased down a corridor by pure darkness?
The Exorcist & The Exorcist III
I still really want to see Exorcist III. A friend was raving about it for weeks so, on his advice, I trundled along to my local video store and hired it, only to find that said store copy was in fact the indefensibly poor 1975 Italian version. |

Who's going to ruin everything this time?
