THE RINGU COLLECTION BLU-RAY REVIEW




Ringu (1998) celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, so it's a great time to dive into Arrow Video's three-disc box set, packed with all four original Ring films, as well as commentaries, featurettes, interviews, and much more!

Dave Kosanke (of Liquid Cheese fanzine fame) joins AC for a third go-round, as well as superfans Jennifer and Ryan Olson making their first (BUT NOT LAST) appearance in the Doc's office.


Along the way, we discuss the thunderbolt that Ringu represented for the entire Japanese film industry, and how it changed Hollywood and horror over the past quarter-century, our personal favorite J-Horror offerings and perspectives on the virtues and downsides of big budget remakes, and the forgotten joys of bootleg VHS... cursed or not!








Let us know YOUR favorite Japanese horror flicks in the comments below, as well as your thoughts on the four titles discussed herein. We love hearing from you!
