🍿 The Centerpiece of Terror: RINGU
Ringu is a Japanese psychological horror film where a journalist, Reiko, investigates an urban legend about a cursed videotape that kills anyone who watches it exactly seven days later. After her own young son accidentally views the tape, Reiko and her ex-husband race against time to solve the mystery and break the curse, uncovering a terrifying supernatural force.

"the original and best: a genuinely scary movie" - The Guardian

“Ringu is one of the best and most influential Japanese horror films of all time. If you still haven’t seen it yet—what are you playing at?” - Ukfilmreview.co.uk

the sheer impact of Nakata’s film led to it being remade twice, once in the USA and once in South Korea, as well as further adaptations for television, radio, and manga. Seven Japanese and two American sequels followed in cinemas. None of them equal the power and inventiveness of the original. Decades on, it remains one of the great works of horror cinema." - Fictionmachine.com
