Ring is the thriller that spawned the entire J-horror craze. A blockbuster movie in Asia as well as a hit DreamWorks remake, the novel sold almost 3 million copies in Japan. Ring is not only a chillingly told horror story but also a shrewdly intelligent and subversive commentary on the power of imagery and contagious consumerism. The description of the act, of course, has been erased from the videotape, and the journalist’s work to solve the mystery assumes a deadly urgency.
Amid a series of bizarre and frightening images is a warning that the viewer will die in exactly one week unless a certain act is performed. Intrigued by the coincidence, a journalist investigates and learns of a videotape that the four watched together a week before dying.
One night in Tokyo, four healthy teenagers die one after another of heart failure.
