I saw this and Ringu on the same day. I had very high expectations for Ringu, and found it to be rather predictable and overhyped. I was worried that Odishon would be the same.
No worries: Odishon is far superior, and IMHO the better horror film. Why compare the two (other than the fact I saw them back to back)? Because both are highly hyped modern Japanese horror films about the revenge and hatred a damaged young woman takes out on the world. Odishon conveys far more horror on a more personal level without depending on a supernatural element, and I found Odishon's Asami far more terrifying and creepy than Ringu's Sadako.
