『リング』

In-Person Screening

Friday, October 7 at 7 pm

Investigating an urban myth of a cursed videotape that kills its watchers within seven days of viewing, journalist Reiko Asakawa (Nanako Matsushima) discovers a series of unnatural teenage deaths tied to a tangible, real-life tape when her niece falls victim to the curse. While tracking it down, Reiko unwittingly exposes her son to the tape, pitting her in a race against the clock to discover the secrets behind its origin. A dirgelike procession of contorted corpses, grainy video footage and disturbing imagery, Nakata’s brooding J-horror classic unleashes a barrage of nightmare fuel that feeds off of the technological anxieties of our modern era.

Dir. Hideo Nakata, 1998, 96 min, DCP, color, in Japanese with English subtitles. With Nanako Matsushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, Miki Nakatani.
