Limited Edition version.

Hideo Nakatas Ring (1998) redefined modern Japanese horror. A journalist investigates a cursed videotape said to kill anyone who watches it within seven days uncovering a vengeful spirit and a cycle of fear that transcends death. Atmospheric, restrained, and haunting, it became the cornerstone of the J-horror wave and inspired remakes around the world.

In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introducing a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The films success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakatas original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology.

A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse…

Arrow Films is proud to present Ring, the film that started it all, restored from the original negative in glorious high definition and supplemented by a wealth of archival and newly created bonus materials.
