Also I need to watch the japanese version of the Ring at some point. Heard the American version didn't do it justice. :/
The remake wasn't bad really, obviously the effects were quite a bit better. The original Japanese version had a way smaller budget, but I prefer the original. There's also a Japanese sequel, which I didn't like that much, and a prequel which shows the backstory of Sadako. Prequel is loosely based on the book as well.

The book isn't really horror, it's more of a detective/thriller type of story with supernatural elements. Still a good book though, I actually just finished re-reading it a couple of days ago, and currently going through the 2nd book
