"It's not of this world. It's Sadako's fury. And she's put a curse on us."

An adaptation of the popular horror potboiler by KĂŽji Suzuki, 1998's Ringu is a nerve-jangling and atmospheric Japanese horror gem that's destined to get under your skin. Upon its release, the film became the highest-grossing Japanese horror flick in history, and it has gone down in history as an influential... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1884 movies items)

" While I can’t guarantee that you won’t literally “Die in seven days” after watching the film, I can guarantee that you will be seriously freaked out by this relentlessly dark film. Based on the novel and graphic novel by Koji Suzuki, you will die in seven days of seeing the tape in the film, unless YOU solve the mystery! DON’T WATCH iT! Also followed by sequels and an American remake. Repeat viewings made Ring a cult classic. AGAIN, DON’T WATCH THE TAPE! You have been warned!"

"3.1. Blu-ray Ihmisen pahuus puhuttelee maallisella ja yliluonnollisella tasolla. En ihan kaikista teknisistÀ ja kerronnallisista keinoista innostunut (varmaan halusin oikeasti K.

Sadakon tarina ja motiivit kyllÀ avataan, mutta missÀÀn vaiheessa ei tunnu turhan selitellyltÀ tai helpolta. Loppu jÀÀ miellyttÀvÀn auki, vaikka pÀÀhahmo yhdessÀ katso"
