synopsis
It sounded like just another urban legend--a videotape filled with nightmarish images, leading to a phone call foretelling the viewer's death in exactly seven days. As a newspaper reporter, Rachel Keller was naturally skeptical of the story, until four teenagers all met with mysterious deaths exactly one week after watching just such a tape. Allowing her investigative curiosity to get the better of her, Rachel tracks down the video... and watches it. Now she has just seven days to unravel the mystery of the "Ring."

reviews
It's been awhile since jaded horror fans have had something to get excited about. Gore Verbinski justifies his career after the miserable The Mexican with this taut thriller, which opens with the teen girls in a truly terrifying sequence reminiscent of Scream.

The plot is the same: There's this cursed videotape (no, it's not a bootleg of Madonna's Swept Away). You watch it. The phone rings. A voice says, "Seven days." That means you have a week to live.

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.
