Specifically in horror genre I actually thought "The Ring" was an improvement. The imagery of the video within the movie was more interesting. The characters were more well written and I thought the acting was a lot better.
But it's true, usually these kinds of remakes are terrible. Off the top of my head I think the worst horror remake I can think of was for "The Vanishing" in which they actually took a great movie and completely altered the meaning of it. Shameful.
