The 1998 Japanese film Ring is simply wonderful... it is wonderful all around... if you walked in the room in the middle of it and just caught a second you would likely want to sit down and continue watching. It is made to the Japanese perfection and it grabs you.
Considered a great representative of the best J-Horror style movies it delivers... in its quiet but deliberate way, all until its totally unpredictable ending.
And I am not ashamed to add I felt some chills down my spine here and there.
If you would like to see and experience that marvel - hurry up, as it will be gone from the Criterion at the end of this month.
