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.
