It's hard to imagine a film about a cursed video tape making a big splash these days, but that's just what The Ring did when it was released late in 2022, igniting the box office on fire and starting a long-running trend of Asian horror remakes.
Naomi Watts plays Rachel, a reporter who gets the story of her life when her teenage niece and her friends are found dead under mysterious circumstances. After a little digging, she finds out that they all went to a secluded cabin in the woods and saw the same eerie video tape. When she decides to watch it for herself, the phone rings and a child's voice lets her know that she has seven days until the curse comes for her, too.
Gore Verbinski gets every bit of dread and tension out of the premise and its ticking time bomb screenplay will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are twists you won't expect and the scares are still just as blood-curdling as they were in 2002.
