About

'Hideo Nakata's subtly creepy ghost story was adapted from the novel by Suzuki Kōji, which in turn drew inspiration from a Japanese folktale. It follows TV reporter and single mother Reiko (Nanako Matsushima) who is caught up in a series of inexplicable deaths involving a supernaturally cursed video tape circulating among teenagers. A major box office hit in Japan, the true horror of Ring does not lie in its ghosts, but rather in the inability of the central characters to comprehend the vast and menacing world that lies outside their realm.'
