ok its from the same director who made the ring. which is really called RingU in japan. He wrote and directed the japanese and american version of THE Grudge which is called Ju-On,

overall this release really isn't that bad the angle is minor you can see the constant adjusting during the beginning. but overall nice video and sound.

8/8/9 movie was really good. but overall the original is still better.

"STN" - WELCOME!!!!!!!

GREAT! A new group has entered the scene that can produce good quality telesyncs. This is like a breath of fresh air. Maybe they can take some of the pressure off VideoCD and maVen. for the past 2 months, I've been holding my breath waiting for those 2 groups to come out with ANYTHING. Never did see "Mr. 3000" from either of them, which is a definite shame. I hope that ONE of the groups (now that we have 3 "high quality" telesync ones) can put out "Ray". This is one that I am not ONLY going to see in the theater, but would like a telesync of good quality to show my mom, aunt, etc. They're used to maVen's and VideoCD's quality, and now they call me, bugging me for new releases! It's so funny to hear my family members all leaving messages, asking me what new movies I can bring for them to watch, when many of them never talked to me at ALL only a year or so ago.
As far as THIS release, I'm a quite impressed with the quality of it. Video only has a slight grainy aspect in (some) parts, but not even close to being enough to be concerned about. Audio is similar to VideoCD's and maVen's in quality (in other words FASNTASTIC). Movie itself was one that I liked a LOT, even though everybody at my job downed it. Screw'em. I look forward to more releases by STN. Keep up the good work, fellas......

Video - 8
Audio - 9
Movie 8.5

yeah you right...well lets see Takashi Shimizu wrote The Grudge and The Grudge 2...2000

and Hideo Nakata wrote Ringu and Ringu 2. in which Ringu came out in 1998.

so I guess my foots in my mouth, but it might be some resemblence since The Ring did come out first.

Nice Release! 7/8/6, agreeably a bit dark in spots but more than watchable. Solid sound.

and just for clarification:

Ju-on (STV) - 2000
Ju-on 2 (STV) - 2000
Ju-on: The Grudge - 2003
Ju-on: The Grudge 2 - 2003

And Takashi Shimizu had nothing to do with Ring, Ring 2 or Ring 0 for that matter (no, he didn't write them). The Grudge is Shimizu's english language remake of Ju-on: The Grudge but it has a shitload of scenes from Ju-on and Ju-on 2.

Ju-on kicks ass, Ju-on 2 sucks, Ju-on: The Grudge pretty much sucked ass but was good for a couple scares. Ju-on: The Grudge 2 on the other hand, was a blast. Sequel to The Grudge is in the works, shit better stay with the original #2.

Holy shit I'm a fucking geek.

Excellent video, superb sound, film made me poo my bottom, easily as good as the japanese original, slightly more linear plot for western tastes, already a huge hit (only cost 10 million dollars to make and has already made over 4 times that in usa) so a sequel is inevitable, and the japanese sequel is just as scary so bring on grudge 2. Ignore the haters this is a superb TS and the film will make you wet your panties

The Grudge The Drudge The Crudge..... :::YAWN:::

Realese:

:: 6.7/7.9/1.00000ooooo...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

:: BTW :: Thanks STN nice release boys, goodluck in your movie pirating carriers.?

well dont forget to take off at least 27 million dollars for popcorn and candy and maybe 15 for people wasting there time to take their girlfriends to the movies, maybe a few mill for the gas money it takes to get there.. and you could also deduct some cash for the people that 'actually' shit their pants and had to buy new ones so... i think maybe they went a little OVER budget...

*sorry joking ^^^* ??? heh

WOW

Good job guys. You had three un-noticed releases prior to this, bout time you made the charts, that one cam with Niome Campbell (Yum Yum..) was pretty good, and looks like you are moving forward. As stated before, good to see the SVCD.TS bar raced higher, people were getting too used to mavens mediocre cams.
Keep 'em coming!

Everything that has been stated, Dark and grainy, angled which crops the subtitles and this film is a total rip off the Ring right down to the girl on the movie poster. HEHE. PRops on the release but i already saw it in the theatres. I can wait for a screener or better..

7/8/7

this isnt a rip off of the ring only thing in common with the ring is they are both crappy remakes if japanese movies

Very watchable as everyone has already stated...It was funny to me to see them cover the cam when someone got up to go take a piss...lol...Finally a good horror movie. I think this is far better then The Ring. Welcome STN, now bring on SAW!!!

Posted by MYYZTIK on 10-30-2004 05:40 AM:

Angle?

I keep hearing comments about a slight angle can anyone make a comment on how noticeable this is cause I cant stand it if it real noticeable. SO before I waste my BW ID like to know thx all!

Posted by Da Postman on 10-30-2004 06:00 AM:

I watched the POT version and outside of the first 5 minutes, it was very watchable. I didn't think anyone else would put this movie out. Yet, here we are and I must say I'm impressed. The sound is clear and the picture is clear. I don't see the grain others have talked about. I can't really notice an angle either while watching this on DVD or my laptop. Nice work people and thank you for both versions.

So he ripped of his own movie. LOL. who cares. It still does NOT cover up the fact that the similarity between the two films is Uncanny. and FYI. the RINGU ur talking about is a US re release of the original RING and there is Ring, Ring 2, Ring Birthday ie Ring Zero, and Ring Virus..Basically American version of Ring combines: Ring one and Two japanese versions in to one, to help the US audience with more of the backstory of the girl. I watch plenty of imports...But thanx for the INFO

I think u meant to say OF in your delightful sentence. NO matter. the Ring original subtitled was far superior to the American Remake.. And what does your post have to do with the quality of this release. For a Recap, Video is a tad grainy and a slight angle to right. Noticeable mostly during subtitles, Good DTS audio. Movie has a few good scares, but overall just a rehash of the Ring. I call it the Ring Lite.LMFAO..Anyhow, Saw is out in the USA now so expect this one to fall fast!!
