Agreed, actually rewatched this last night and I think it’s still got something other found footage films have failed to capture. Was struck afterwards that it’s been 25 years and that was a different world... so maybe that’s part of it.

name a better horror movie
> Ringu
Very Good (slightly overrated)
> Spiral
Weak (first hour is good, last 30 min is a clusterfrick, saved from being fully bad by the lovely Mai who is notably fleshed out from her cameo in Ringu & gets to show more emotional range than in Ringu 2)
> Ringu 2
Very Good (would possibly be the best Ring movie if the finale was more coherent & a specific death wasn't so wasteful)
> Ring 0 - Birthday
Good to Very Good-ish
> The Ring (American)
Very Good to Great
> The Ring Two
Ok / Meh? (remember very little aside from the ending, need to re-watch, I read a review saying it was shockingly awful considering it as the same director as the original Jap film)
iirc it was a short made between the American Ring 1 and 2 to promote the sequel and it was actually fricking amazing. I remember it was bundled in with the DVD set and it freaked me the frick out so much so I've never watched it again since.
I think our opinions on The Ring are somewhat biased based on this fricking still and the fact most of us were in our early pre-teens when we were first subjected to it. I resisted it some years ago and it's a goofy mess of a film.
Rosemarys baby
The exorcist
The Thing is better than The Ring.

sure
Ringu
Don't say Ringu, its bad. Its like hey lets play my favorite game Kingudamu Hatsu.
Ringu is the official American English title of the movie. I use it because if I say "Ring" people think I mean the American remake.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Also Ringu.

Did you ever watch Rings?

Mirrors
Pulse but i don't really get it

Literally any other horror movie in existence.
