The Ring is a
2002 American
motion picture that is a
remake of a
Japanese horror film,
Ringu\. The story concerns a videotape of possibly
supernatural origin which causes people to die grotesquely seven days after they watch it. Produced by
DreamWorks pictures, the film was a popular success, earning a total of $129,094,024 in domestic box office receipts.
It stars Naomi Watts and Martin Henderson and is directed by Gore Verbinski.
Elements of The Ring are also reminiscent of David Cronenberg's Videodrome.
A sequel, The Ring 2, is expected in North American theaters November 10, 2004.
