Whatever you do, DON'T see the original Japanese version (Ringu). You couldn't have worse writing! Get this:
Spoiler:
two thirds into the "story", one of the characters randomly says out of nowhere "Oh, by the way, I'm psychic, and this is what is happening and why... and then just tells you the story!"
LOL!

That's it! No buildup. No tense drama.
Spoiler:
just a guy in the movie basically "spoiling" everything for the viewer!

Re: Sixth Sense vs The Ring(2002 Remake)

Shit, I love them both and think both are brilliant. This is a VERY tough call to make. But I'm going to choose the one I've seen more and that would be The Ring. (seen Sixth Sense about 3 times, The Ring about 5).

Yes - 'Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge', published 1890, and that's still not far back enough ...

Vote is for The Ring but I liked the original more.

Re: Sixth Sense vs The Ring(2002 Remake)

almost had to vote for the Ring just because of Naomi Watts but Sixth Sense was a fantastic creepy movie. The Ring was decent but not really scary
