Television journalist Reiko investigates an urban legend about a cursed VHS tape that murders the viewer seven days after they watch it. As the mystery hits closer to home, Reiko joins forces with ex-husband/current-exorcist Takashi to destroy the curse. And (hopefully) survive an encounter with a ghost named Sadako. RINGU is the highest grossing Japanese horror movie in history that still manages to shred nerves. “The subtle dread will keep you up at night in a cold, clammy sweat.”– Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Reviews
“A most artfully creepy piece of work.”
