In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introduced a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film's success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata's original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology.
A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their face twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy unrban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week - unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse...
Arrow Video is proud to present the genre-defining trilogy - Ring, the film that started it all, plus Hideo Nakata's chilling sequel Ring 2, and the haunting origin story, Ring 0 - as well as the 'lost' original sequel, George Iida's Spiral, gathered together in glorious high definition and supplemented by a wealth of archival and newly created bonus materials.

Ring Collection
This Arrow set is of a high standard that they always set. Video quality is excellent. The artwork is great and all movies look good with the matching covers.

Fantastic looking set
As one would expect from Arrow, this is a very attractice, high quality box set. I more often than not reverse the covers in the cases for box sets that already show the new artwork, to display the original cover. Not this time, as the custom art work on the three cases is just so cool. I just wish this included a booklet and poster... mainly a poster. Now I just have to watch the films - have not seen all before.

J-horror
Most scary sets of films ever made, you sit there glue to your set until the very end of each film. Fabulous well made films. I'm glad has lost Ring film, that based on the book. Again worth while getting this set. Zavvi has great prices on these.
