Plot: Exactly one week after staying at a remote cabin, a group of Japanese teenagers all meet sudden inexplicable deaths. A cousin of one of the victims, reporter Reiko Asakawa (Nanako Matsushima), begins an investigation that leads to the discovery of a videotape containing hauntingly bizarre footage. Upon viewing the tape, Reiko receives a phone call stating that she, too, will die in one week. As the clock ticks away, Reiko enlists the help of her estranged husband, Ryuji (Hiroyuki Sanada), who possesses limited psychic abilities. Together they attempt to discover the meaning behind the cryptic film and break the supernatural curse.Hideo Nakata's RING, based on a novel by Kôji Suzuki, was such a hit in Japan that it spawned both a sequel and prequel, along with a huge cult following. Like a horrific version of an X-FILES episode, the dark, moody film makes the most out of the mysterious and the unknown. As any viewer will admit, the surreal, death-inducing video presented within the movie is extremely effective. And as RING's tension builds, so does its sense of mounting doom. One of the creepiest motion pictures ever made, RING culminates in an unbelievably chilling finale. Do not watch this film alone...and make sure the phone ringer is

 Words can't explain the feeling I got while viewing this film. Watching it alone the other night in my home, I caught myself looking away out of sheer fright not once, not twice, but three times! Are there any monster leaping out of the darkness? No. Arethere buckets of blood? Hello no. There's not a single drop in the whole movie. So... what is it?--Ted Geoghegan (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Ring is one of the best horror movies this viewer has ever seen and certainly the scariest. In this day and age, horror movies are too clinical to be remotely scary, sure some are able to create a creepy-enough atmosphere but none have had the power to truly scare. The only thing I can really compare Ring to, is the Blair Witch Project finale.  --Ebben (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
