THE RING TWO (2005) d. Hideo Nakata (USA)
RINGS (2017) d. F. Javier Gutiérrez
Welcome to Episode 13 of THE STACK!!
Tonight we dive deep into the film that essentially launched the worldwide J-horror boom... by making us aware of the original that inspired it in the first place! Ringu (1998) was on nobody's radar outside of its home country and some lucky festival goers until Hollywood caught wind of it and cranked out a supercharged remake that made tons of money and had all eyes looking to the east for the next big scare (and the next big thing that could be ripped off).
Luckily, The Ring (2002) is a solid fright flick, and it holds up nicely after 20+ years. Now, the sequels... not so much. Shout! Factory has assembled the lot in a fine box set and Samara awaits.
