Urban legends are wonderful. Everyone knows of a friend of a friend’s mother’s brother’s pen friend’s girlfriend that got killed in some freakish, crazy or paranormal way. Most of these stories are just that, stories, but there’s always a niggling feeling at the back of your mind that it could happen to you, no matter how farfetched the tale is.Ring (”Ringu”) revolves around one such urban legend, which turns out to be true. One week after watching a mysterious video, the viewers die in a repulsive contortion, as if they’ve been scared to death by something.
The sudden appearance of the urban legend piques the interest of Reiko, a reporter, whom after watching the video must find some way not to die, nor to let other people close to her get killed after they watch the tape too.
