Ringu - Arrow Video Limited Edition (4K Ultra HD)

Own the film that started it all with Ringu – Arrow Video Limited Edition (4K Ultra HD). In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror that redefined modern horror, sparked the J-horror boom worldwide, and introduced audiences to one of the genre’s most iconic figures: Sadako. Blending traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology, Ringu remains the definitive cursed-media nightmare—copied, remade, and imitated, but never matched.

This Arrow Video Limited Edition is restored from the original camera negative in glorious 4K and loaded with essential commentaries, interviews, and video essays exploring the film’s legacy and impact.

A group of teenage friends are found dead—bodies grotesquely contorted, faces frozen in terror. Reiko, a journalist and aunt of one of the victims, investigates and uncovers a terrifying urban legend: a cursed videotape that kills anyone who watches it within seven days… unless they convince someone else to watch it and pass on the curse. As Reiko races against time, the mystery deepens and the horror tightens—because once you’ve seen it, there may be no way out.
