After unsettling audiences across the world with its relentlessly creepy vision of VHS-generated terror, the Japanese horror hit RING received the Hollywood treatment—resulting in an equally chilling remake that generates fright not through blunt shocks but a pervasive sense of ambient dread. The bizarre death of a teenage girl leads journalist Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) to investigate a mysterious urban legend: a videocassette containing disturbing imagery that is said to kill anyone who watches it within seven days. After Keller views the tape, she has one week to discover the source of the tape’s disturbing power before it’s too late.
