Ringu is based on a novel by Koji Suzuki, (known as the ‘Japanese Stephen King’) and for any western viewer this film is the starting point for any exploration of modern Asian horror. Ringu introduced a generation of moviegoers to the bizarre, dark pleasures of Asian horrors. Jaded with the tired franchises of Freddy, Jason and Michael, western audiences flocked to see something new, exotic and terrifyingly different. In 1998, director Hideo Nakata unleashed a chilling tale of technological dread which redefined the horror genre and launched the Japanese-horror boom in the West. Also available from the 18th March 2019 is Ring Limited Edition Collection featuring Ring, Ring 2, Ring 0 and Spiral. On 1st march it will show in 100+ cinemas across the UK, with a follow-up release on the 18th March of the SteelBook, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD versions.
