Day 21: Ringu
The spark that started The Great Early-2000's American Remakes of Japanese Horror Movies Jamboree™, I would consider this less of a horror film and more of a quiet mystery-thriller.
The idea of a cursed video tape is so simple and brilliant that all the filmmakers really had to do was follow a trail of logic from there, and that's exactly what happens.
It's an investigative drama grounded in reality up until the last 5 minutes, and that's when the most famous part happens.
I don't really have much to say on this one, it's a really solid movie but it's not particularly mind-blowing, especially since I saw the remake first so I already knew the twists going in.
If you've never seen the remake then I would highly recommend this film, if you've already seen the remake then the experience will be diluted but it's definitely still worth checking out.
