The terror begins with a cursed video cassette. This downright scary film became a phenomenal success in Japan when it theatrically premiered in 1998. It spawned a successful sequel "Ring 2" and a prequel "Ring 0," plus a 2002 Hollywood remake ("The Ring") which has become an international smash hit. Though produced with a considerably lower budget than the remake, this original version is still considered the scarier/creepier of the two by many. Contains trailers and the making-of featurette.
