"One curse, one cure, one week to find it".

The movie that started the so-called "New Wave" of Japanese Horror Movies, Ringu is a spine tingling exercise in psychological terror. Based on a best selling novel by Koji Suzuki which itself takes its origins from a Japanese folk tale, Ringu spawned a number of sequels, prequels and westernised re-makes. It also paved the way for the success of other East Asian fright fests such as Ju-on: The Grudge (2003), Dark Water (2002) and The Eye (2002) (all also re-made for Western eyes).
Highly imaginative, unpretentious and quite simply terrifying, Ringu delves deep into the human soul and rips the heart right out of it.
Do not watch alone
