Western is like 1/20th of quality. Japanese is so so so much more on point. It’s relentless and keeps on coming. It’s not treating you as if you are watching a movie. American version has flashbacks, switching shots to different characters only for them to react. It’s made like a movie. Japanese version is made like you are going to die in 7 days.
The ring
Yeah, I saw the western version age… 12? Intrusive thoughts for weeks. Dude electrocuting himself in a bathtub was what did it for me for some reason
The Ring, age 8 or 9, did me in as well. The bathtub scene is also the one that messed with my head the most.
