Which film contains more psychological order? The Ring or The Grudge?

I would say neither.  Clothing a slasher film in creepy psycho-babble insane asylum images and language does not make it a true psychological horror movie.\n\nPsychological horror movies as a "genre" at their best are not much different than the psych thriller movies.  Take the trippy Fangoria special effects and CG away from most of such modern movies and what is left is plot and stories recycled from classic stories from Hitchcock and other earlier filmmakers and writers.\n\nUnfortunately most psychological horror movies spend way too much time and money developing some terrible gritty asylum feeling and images and much less time on the script, pacing and acting that would make such a movie truly scary/creepy.\n\nThat isn't to say that there are not really scary movies that play on strong psychological themes.  I particularly felt that Signs was one of the creepiest movies in many years.  It perfectly built up and exploited the feeling of helplessness.  Even the saving "discovery" that water would repel the invaders did not totally dispel the dread, as the feeling that the victory was only a brief and fleeting one hovered over the end of the movie.  The CG and special effects are not what drove the movie, unlike the two titles in question.  Another example predates such movies.  Orson Wells broadcast of The War of the Worlds during the build up to US involvement in WWII exploited the public's psychological states of fear of the unknown, fear of 'strange' technology, and justified fear of invasion.  It caused a true panic unlike anything ever caused by a movie.

Though the central story of The Haunting remains the same as the novel, there are two main elements that were changed for the film. The first is the nature of Eleanor's relationship with Dr. Markway. In the book, Eleanor develops a bit of a crush on Luke, though he appears to favor the company of Theodora. The film version finds Dr. Markway carelessly forgetting to mention that he's married, and consequently Eleanor mistakes his academic interest in her, coupled with his kindness and charm, for genuine affection. Also, in regard to Mrs. Markway, she shows up later in the film as well, though her companion Arthur is not in the film. However, instead of being a flighty mystic as she is in the book, she is rather a hard-nosed skeptic who wants to convince her husband to give up his research and return home. While her character does not get much screen time, it is apparent that she feels somewhat differently by the end of the film. Director Robert Wise found an interesting way to portray Eleanor as the central character, as he gives her sole rights to internal monologues. The viewer sees more of Eleanor than any of the other characters, and since so much of the story revolves around her, this method is quite effective.

well, i like them all.  i never did see the ringer though.  but, Happy Gilmore is a classic.  it is so funny and adorable.  love the scene when Shooter says about breakfast and Bob Barker scene and alligator.  Waterboy is hilarious!  Kathy Bates is terrific and so is Fairuza Balk!  Love the parts when Sandler envisions them with different faces and gest angry!  But, actually Wedding singer is probably my favorite!  love all the 80's references nad the chemistry between Sandler and Drew is great!

My fave horror movie is The Grudge because it is the first one horror movie that I saw!

The Exorcist.  Not only did Dick Smith pioneer some incredible special effects in that movie, but the whole concept of a young girl (typically associated with purity) being fused with pure evil added a psychological aspect to the horror that we rarely see in today's films.  This, coupled with the young priest's own issues concerning his faith and his mother, the fear of the unknown, and the supernatural aspect of the plot, made the Exorcist a truly haunting movie.\n\n   Second runner up was the Barney and Friends Halloween Special.  The horror... the HORROR.

Helm's Deep,\nLord of the Rings the two towers. very poignant as well in regards to Tolkien's first world war trench experience and the death of the elf (can't spell his name and don't want lynched) dying in such a way to show the horrible losses of battle!!!\n\nwww.geocities.com/filmmounts for authentic and cheap LOTR and many other movies meorabillia

I totally agree. It's such a lame movie! What's the point of it? What's so interesting about it that people haven't gotten the first time? I don't think anyone can answer these questions. Plus, the ring wasn't even pretty.

signs - i have forgotten most about the movie but i didn't really find it that frightening. it's just kind of eerie and spooky but not downright frightening.\n\nblair witch - aahh... what a controversy. the way the camera was handled makes your head spin a bit. it is interesting, but again, not that scary, for me at least. but it has its moments, if you could feel for the characters.\n\nthe ring - which one? the japanese original was a low-budget film but it really delivered for me. the most hair-raising part was the one at the end. the american version was not that good for me. the scare factor just wasn't there...\n\nthe omen - again, which one? the original or the remaker? i haven't seen the remake just yet but the original was okay for me. i still like the exorcist more not only because of the special effects but because of the whole plot overall.\n\nsixth sense - like the movie signs, i have forgotten almost everything about the movie except for the line, "i see dead people" and that a main character was actually dead. it's a good movie.\n\nthere you go... i'm more of a zombie fan than anything but i do like horror movies/suspense movies in general. :)

They have great Japanese horror movies that American film makers have redone.\n\n The Ring , The Grudge and Dark Water are all remakes of Japanese films.  \n\nThe movie coming out called Pulse is a remake of a Japanese film.  Try watching these movies in their Japanese versions it makes for a better scare.  \n\nThey are quite different, very eerie.  If you can get past the subtitles which you don't notice after a while.

I liked the movie, but it wasn't as original as the first three films. My favorite so far is the second movie. The movie mostly spoofs War of the Worlds and the Grudge. The movie leastly spoofs Saw, Saw II, Red Eye, The Village, and Million Dollar Baby. \n\nHope you like it!

Love that movie. My favorite was when the dog ate the ring, pooped it out, and Stiffler ended up eating it to hide his mistake!

The Ring 2 and Dark Water unrated have some more graphic scenes in the scary parts.  There is no nudity in either movie, but the more graphic scary parts would really just make either film an R rating, instead of the PG-13 they were.  Unrated really only means that the film has not been reviewed for a rating.  It is the original version that would have gotten them an R rating, so they edited a little to get the PG-13, so teens could see the movie.
