Ringu (1998)
Directed by Hideo Nakata
4.6/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"96 minQuick Hit
Ringu lands like a supernatural dread machine—quiet, cursed, and turns patience into payoff.
Full Take
Ringu leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Hideo Nakata keeps the tone quiet without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. Easy WATCH territory.

I’m closer to the negative side on this. It just didn’t come together for me and felt like it never really found its footing.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
