The Hollywood remake of the Japanese cult classic
Ringu comes to DVD in all its haunting glory. You know the plot: There's this unlabeled videotape. It's cursed. If you watch it, you die in seven days. Hell, you can get the job done quicker by watching Madonna's
Swept Away.
What makes
The Ring a keeper is the film's deepening mystery, as a Seattle reporter, played by the sexy, compulsively watchable Naomi Watts (Betty from
Mulholland Drive), tries to figure out how that tape killed her niece.
