Curious though, what was it about the US version of The Ring that grabbed your eye for the top 10 list?

With the original, I kept feeling like something terrifying was ... just ... about ... to ... happen, but never really did. For instance, the scene where !SPOILER ALERT! Samara climbs out of the TV was so much scarier to me in the US version, even though I knew it was coming since I'd seen the Japanese version first. I certainly felt very strange after seeing the original, which is cool, but I was almost shaking after the US one, so it got the nod from me. Hey Joe - I just felt the US version was scarier.

The Ring, The Blair Witch Project, and A Nightmare on Elm Street are three of my favorite horror films of all time, and A Tale of Two Sisters is just plain beautiful. Kudos! Excellent list!

I made a similar comment on one of my own lists. Not quite sure why most horror fans prefer the original, it's weaker in almost all aspects.
