Watch: Asian horror mash-up is a thing now with The Ring Vs. The Grudge

Back in the mid-2000's, everyone went bananas for J-horror and K-horror.

You had The Ring, The Grudge, A Tale Of Two Sisters, To Sir With Love and a load more jump the cultural gap between Western audiences and Eastern audiences and, of course, came the remakes. Gore Verbinski's remake of The Ring was actually pretty decent, as was the US version of The Grudge.

Of course, that was helped by the fact that the original director was involved with the US remake. So, why are we talking about a brief fad in horror movies from nearly ten years ago? Because they're back, people.

A mysterious trailer surfaced online earlier today that suggests a mash-up is on the way of The Ring and The Grudge for Asian audiences. Sadako Vs. Kayako will see the weird, creepy girl from The Ring and the weird, creepy... boy?.. let's say boy... face off against one another to see who can keep the most people awake and for how long.

Horror face-offs aren't anything new, of course. We've had Jason Vs. Freddy AND Chucky Vs. Leprechaun, so it's sorta been done in US horrors. The Ring Vs. The Grudge, however, will be the first time - as far as we know - it's been attempted in Asian horror.

Get a load of the trailer. There's no word yet on an Irish release, most likely it'll be screened as part of IFI's Horrorthon in October.
