"The Ring"

Japanese version, uncensored. 

The girl, the corpses in the closet, just the whole color scheme, the video itself. 

I saw this movie when I was about 13 or 14, I don't even know how this one special friend of mine got her hands on an uncensored copy (It had crappy German subtitles, I remember that much) and although I watched most of it while covering my face with my hands and two pillows it still scared the hell out of me and tortured me for the next four years to come. 
After this video night from hell, I was afraid of practically everything involving dark, even closing my eyes during washing my hair (which is stupid I know xD) and I know how incredibly happy I was once my dad got rid of the old vhs-player and bought a dvd-player.

It was one of the movies that taught me in a very hard way to stay the fuck away from horror flicks (except werewolf-movies that is xD) and leave the room if friends want to watch stuff like that during video nights. 
I  needed four years or more to stop being afraid of what might lurk behind the next dark corner and be a bit more carefree (this was not entirely the movie's fault but personal problems too, the movie was like the symptome). 
Being with the musical group helped me as well as starting re-watching cartoons and gaining a more positive view on life in general. 
Still, this is the one thing that I would change in my life if I could travel back in time, it would save me a lot of nightmares.
If I have kids, I will definitely keep an eye on them because although I know that pain and confusion is a part of growing up, I would never have my own child life through something this traumatizing.

Sorry for the rant. xDD
