Ringu (1998) -- H. Nakata
Perhaps not quite as
scary on the third or fourth viewing, but Ringu still evokes a sense of
spookiness and dread that is hard to forget. If you haven't seen this tale of
the videotape that when watched leads to a mysterious and horrific death in 7
days, then surely you should. There is
an American version (The Ring) that puts the plot together in a much more
matter-of-fact way but it loses the mysterious essence of the Japanese version. To say more would be criminal -- except that
now I have to watch Ringu 2 again, as it may be even more scary.
