A Cheap Imitation of The Ring???


When I first saw an ad for this film, I thought. Wow it sounds good. But it seemed a little too similar to The Ring. Did anyone think that?
But the difference was Samara was quite generous and gave: Seven Days where as the website is actually pretty lame and gives you a mere: Two Days...


The Ring - 7
FearDotCom - 2

Wow... It can go by ratings too :D

Well, if my informations are correct, FearDotCom's release was on 30 august 2007 and The Ring's release was on 18 october 2007..so...but there are some similarities between those movies..I think the major one is the atmosphere.

well in my opinion, it really likes "the Ring".

after seeing the film, its okie, not too shabby, but a cheap knockoff of the ring is all ic an think of, many aspects not properly mentioned, a good production team could have made this a classic

Seems more Ringu is a ripoff of VideoDrome. Just because it coppies the "die in this amount of time", doesn't mean it's a ripoff. Yes it used that and has a curse on it. You have a list of cursed stuff.

Video Tapes/Film: Videodrome (1983)
Video Games: Brainscan (1994), Arcade (1993)
Graveyard: Pet Sematary (1989)
Music: The Gate (1987), Gate 2: The Trespassers (1990), Trick or Treat (1986)
The Amityville Cursed Objects. Now you wanna talk bad. This is bad. The worst.
