Overview
A masterclass in minimalist horror, Hideo Nakata’s Ringu retains its chilling power over two decades on. After watching a mysterious video tape, a group of teens are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted. Reiko (Nanako Matushima), the aunt of one of the victims and a journalist by trade, sets out to investigate this shocking tragedy. The further she delves into the urban legend of this supposed cursed tape, the creepier and more nightmarish things become. A psychological horror classic of genuinely terrifying proportions, Ringu leaves a lasting mark on all who cross its path.
