N2  - From case cover:
Within a week of watching a mysterious videotape, a group of teenagers are dead. The bodies are found gruesomely contorted, their eyes frozen as if they had seen something more terrifying than any physical threat.

The video becomes an urban myth. Insidiously, an unseen force is pointing its deadly finger at those poor souls unable to resist their curiosity. One of those poor people is the cynical journalist Reiko, who soon finds herself unwillingly drawn into a spiralling nightmare of fear from an unseen, omnipresent threat.

The most unseffling film since "The Exorcist", with an unnatural presence that touches every nerve in your body, "Ring" is a beast of an entirely different order. Critically acclaimed as one of the most frightening horror films in years, "Ring" delivers a tense spine-chilling atmosphere, filled with an overwhelming sense of dread and a potent presence of unworldly evil.

Dark, sinister and genuinely horrifying, this is a film you will never forget
