RINGU (1998)
October 23 : 9:15 pm – 11:00 pm
“The subtle dread will keep you up at night in a cold, clammy sweat.” –Rolling Stone
All roads lead back to RINGU—the blockbuster Japanese horror movie that inspired a million nightmares (and ripoffs and remakes, including 2002’s The Ring, playing immediately before this screening!) with its phantasmic elegance. Television journalist Reiko investigates an urban legend about a cursed VHS tape that murders the viewer seven days after they watch it. As the mystery hits closer to home, Reiko joins forces with ex-husband/current-exorcist Takashi to destroy the curse. And (hopefully) survive an encounter with a ghost named Sadako. Directed by Hideo Nakata (Dark Water), RINGU is the highest grossing Japanese horror movie in history and STILL manages to shred an audience’s nerves over a quarter of a century later.
In the lobby, you can decide whether to watch a mysterious video tape on our TV-VCR combo. Do you dare?
