Ringu is the best horror film I have seen in recent years. It is a Japanese film by Hideo Nakata and tells of a mysterious videotape, which when watched seems to result in a terrifying death. The movie begins with a group of teenagers having watched the video and each then winds up dead with a look of extreme fear frozen on their faces. The video becomes an urban legend until the cynical journalist Reiko finds it and against her will is drawn into the mystery. The whole film is filled with a sense of dread.
