Arrow Video
In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introduced a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film's success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata's original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology.
A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week - unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse...
Arrow Video is proud to present the genre defining trilogy - Ringu, the film that started it all, plus Hideo Nakata's chilling sequel, Ringu 2, and the haunting origin story, Ringu 0 - as well as the 'lost' original sequel, George Iida's Spiral, gathered together in glorious high definition and supplemented by a wealth of bonus materials.

It's a little surprising that the original Ring didn't show up on the Criterion Collection or something by now, given the absolute sensation it is over in Japan. That said, this box set equals whatever they would likely do, if not exceeding it. The wealth of supplementary materials to go alongside the high quality transfers of these movies very well, and add a lot of interesting insight and extra fun to these moody and creepy watches, especially the interviews. It's good to know that Sadako is getting her due respect in a country where perhaps Samara is more popular. As a Japanese person, it makes me happy to see so much love and care go into one of our favorite horror series. All that's missing now is a Ju-On collection to match.

The box set came perfectly, we’re just starting to watch “Ringu” and so far, no problems. The packaging was great to the box arrived in perfect condition with no loose discs. We’re happy to be able to watch these four films on the Ringu franchise. Great that “Spiral” is counted among the ones in these series. When we first watched these decades ago I was hooked, but I’ve never been able to watch them all of them nor the series.

First time watching Ringu, Spiral, and Ringu 0. I had previously watched Ringu 2 as a movie rental many years ago. I'm glad to have this set in my collection. Ringu looked the best with a superb transfer from Arrow Video. Spiral was not as enjoyable as the other 3, but still nice that they included it as an extra. Despite them being a bit older, they still hold up as some of the scariest from j-horror. I would definitely give them a try if you haven't already done so. I'm hoping Arrow releases the Ju-On collection in the US.
