The Ring Virus (1999)

Just bcuz it's not a complete copy, doesn't mean it's good

So this is a good example of why u shouldn't trust articles on internet recommending u movies, especially horror. But I did. I am a big horror fan nd for me no horror movie is small or big. As long as it can give me chills and vanish my night sleep, I will give it a good rating. But this one was a bummer. From the beginning till the end, the movie proves itself unworthy.
The only thing they did was not copying the Ringu completely but that doesn't give them a pass for creating garbage. They literally put some stupid music whenever u get a call after watching tape, like wtf. The main concept of ringu was that creepy voice telling u, u gonna die after 7 days. But the korean ver. screwed it.
The OG and the American ver. focuses on the main female's kid too, but korean ver. literally cut off the kid's part completely like the kid was not meant to be the part of movie bcuz she's minor ?
The main character or the woman was an idiot. She literally visits the doctor or morgue doctor whatever to ask some questions but the end up taking his help for no reason. Like there was no connection developed between the two characters to contact each other.

The TV ghost was hilarious ? Like literally insulting trans people with story. The guy who was making out with her found out she's a trans and killed her, like wtf. At least provide a better reason.

Overall, I would say do not waste ur time watching this garbage. The whole vibe of movie is boring and slow. They just created a distinct representation of OG but didn't work on the story meticulously.
