About

"Ring (1998)" (Ringu) is a Japanese horror film. It was directed by Hideo Nakata and stars Nanako Matsushima, Miki Nakatani and Hiroyuki Sanada. In the schools of a large Japanese city, a videotape is circulating that kills its viewers seven days after they watch it. A journalist investigates the story and uncovers a frightening family secret – an extremely dense horror film without special effects that turns the terror in viewers' minds into complex images.
