"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

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.

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

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!

PRops on the release but i already saw it in the theatres. I can wait for a screener or better..



7/8/7

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!!!

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!

Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged

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!!
