Ringu vs The Ring

I have decided to analyse Ringu and The Ring for my assignment. Watching Ringu it wasn't so much a horror film but then watching the Hollywood remake it was a lot scarier to suite the intended audience. Both followed similar storyline with the remake just adding a couple of more bits in that weren't necessarily needed but were used for shock value. Overall both films are quite similar, with the beginning even being almost shot for shot. I am still working out what my thesis is going to be and then I can begin fleshing out exactly what I am going to write about.
