A group of teenagers watch a mysterious videotape and within a week all are dead, their lifeless faces frozen in complete terror. Enter deeply cynical journalist Reiko, unable to resist the now legendary myth, and finding herself drawn into a world of unimaginable horror and fear. Ring is a genuinely frightening movie, no post 'Scream' irony, no knowing sideswipes at the genre, just a chew your nails to the bone slice of terror.
