The Ring

HorrorMysteryThriller96 min

A reporter starts looking into a rumor about a videotape that kills anyone who watches it exactly seven days later. What begins as an urban legend turns urgent when the deaths around the tape seem to follow the same pattern, pushing her to track where it came from and what is on it. As the deadline closes in, the investigation pulls her through old records, frightened witnesses, and a case that refuses to stay buried. Nanako Matsushima leads the search as each answer points to something more disturbing than a simple prank, and the tape itself becomes the center of a race against time.
