Ringu was the start of a trend of horror ghost films due to the film's masterful direction and writing. The plot is after her niece dies mysteriously, a reporter starts to investigate the death and ends up being lead towards a mysterious VHS tape that contains an eerie video. The reporter soon becomes cursed to die in 7 days and, along with her ex husband, must find out the mystery behind the tape's creation and try to break the curse. It has an intense atmosphere with an intriguing mystery aspect. The actors do an excellent job with their parts and succeed at making the audience fear and dread the worse. The horror elements are handled very well. It keeps the right things mysterious and exposes only what is necessary. I won't spoil the ending, but it is the best and scariest part of the film and will leave you scared senseless. This is a true masterpiece in horror cinema and deserves at least one watch.
