What critics compared Ring 2 to
Since the logic of the source material (and its worthy sequel, Ringu 2; franchise, anyone?) is iffy at best, Verbinski wisely concentrates on darkly sensuous imagery, which, apparently, was storyboarded very much in a pulpy comic vein.
Hopefully American versions of Ringu 2 and Ringu 0 are already in the pre-production stages (and hopefully the American prequel won't suck as much as the Japanese one did).
