Scared the bejeesus out of me.
It's worth pointing out that I have been made to jump by Coronation Street.
And I agree; if they'd left it at the second twist, the story would have been much better. That said, I've been out camping for the last few days, and when a friend came out of the woods whilst wearing a red tunic, I did jump. 
I'm a big girly wuss, and yet I've sat quite happily through showings of The Exorcist and The Ring (both versions.) How bizarre.

Oooo, the original version of The Ring was excellent! There's also a Japanese movie called The Eye that is very creepy. It was compared to The Ring and I thought it would be a rip off but rented it anyway. It had some very spooky moments. Those Japanese have been on a roll with horror movies recently.  |

Currently on the lookout for the DVD release of a film called "Ju-on." Oddly enough, I've actually seen the American re-make trailer first (involves Sarah Michelle Gellar), but generally the Japanese ones are the best. I'm developing something of an affection for Japanese films, actually; okay, all of them are the Mainstream Ones (Battle Royale, The Ring, Dark Water, etc) but, well, it makes my DVD collection look a little more intellectual...
Never seen The Eye, but I will keep my... er... eye out for it.

The original is a Japanese movie called "The Ring" which was made first - based on the novel. The later version (2002, English) is almost identical but, amazingly, the original has even more tension in it. Both are very good.
The Japanese version was followed up with "The Ring 2" which is just not scary at all. Unless you're called Scribe - in which case you'll jump at anything  . It's more of a Twin Peaks Gone Wrong style movie.
