Hypothetically SoundThe curse began with Ringu (1998)—the J-horror classic that introduced Sadako & her deadly videotape.

Aldi80s 🇯🇵 アルディShowed to a friend the Morning Musume video where made a prank using the Sadako figure, and the girls were so scared. But he said that was overreacted, so stupid, so childish, "why scare of a fictional movie figure?"Seriously they don't understand the historical background of the Ringu movie. More than a fictional story, there's a history to be considered and understand the fear or belief of the Japanese.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AsianMovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AsianMovies</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AsianHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AsianHorror</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JapaneseHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JapaneseHorror</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sadako" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sadako</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ringu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ringu</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a>

:blobcataww:An important disclaimer is that Koji Suzuki is no Akane Shimizu. So far the internal logic are solid, as a reader you just need some... Strange moments, like extracting DNA from mature red cells. Having said, it's a series maybe possibly about killer video tapes, so we can suspend some disbelief.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TheRing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheRing</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TheSpiral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheSpiral</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Ringu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ringu</a>

:blobcataww:I need to preface this with that I'm a massive fan of the original Ringu. I was around 11 when I was introduced to it, told it was a documentary. Bastard move by that adult, don't change that it shaped my life in ways I'd never expect. Not just in the sense that I ended up falling into the horror genre well and never crawled back, I also have unusually strong affinity toward short reel films of vaguely creepy stuff, the more student-film the better. The novel would've been better if I've never seen the film. It felt closer to a thriller than a true horror, where the dread is there the entire time, but the key is unmasking mystery and race against time.I think it's intentional, that the entire cast are severely unlikeable. The protagonist is a complete coward who has zero regard to anyone except anyone immediately affecting him. The best friend is... Fuck that guy, I don't even care if he lied about raping a woman because he's a disgusting incel shit, as far as I'm concerned he is a rapist. And the person who raped and murdered Sadako is... Look I'm already committed to I hate the cast, but I do wonder if there were external causes that lead to this guy's behaviour. It makes no sense to me on why Sadako spared him otherwise. I also really get the vibe that the writer himself hates his own characters as well, which makes it a lot more bearable.I don't know if Sadako is necessarily trans based on this novel along, she's most certainly intersex and hasn't been well treated because of it. I found the grudge-genre of horror particularly interesting, as it's just so so East Asian. Like our marginalised women can only imagine a hint of fairness by being the grudged ghosts coming back to haunt their tormenters, and that's the only traditional justice porn we had. I'm kinda starting to see why there is a sub-sub-sub genre of Ring fan work where it's basically equally miserable people intentionally watch the videotape, summoned Sadako over, just so they can be friends and hang out? Sadako and her mum just wanted to be left along ffs. I'm pretty cautious about the whole "intersex icon" thing, consider I'd imagine a good proportion of people rightfully don't want to be represented by a ghost-serial-murderer. I'm always on the incline that I prefer a well fleshed out villain rep than a performative bland skin-swap "othered" hero, that hasn't changed. Then again, with the novel yet the other question becomes how much of Sadako's action is within Sadako's control? It has an unusual fixation with smallpox virus and TB: it might be shaping out to be where the plot really is. If so, it's pretty impressive because afaik at the time the book was written, the carcinogenic effect of herpes wasn't well known yet. I sure sure sure do wish that some amateur/fan film maker would make the short reel of the video in the book. It is hella creepier than the version in Ringu. <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TheRing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheRing</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Ringu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ringu</a>
