    Ringu impressions

    My Canadian copy of Ringu has just turned up. The box is not bilingual, and there is no insert in the box. The print is WAY better than my UK Tartan version, and the sound, remixed in 5.1 is a huge improvement on the previous release. Should scare the piss out of anybody who has a good...
