The Ring is a 2002 American psychological horror film directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Naomi Watts and Martin Henderson. It is an American remake of the 1998 Japanese horror film Ring.

Both films are based on Kôji Suzuki’s novel Ring and focus on a mysterious cursed videotape which contains a seemingly random series of disturbing images. After watching the tape, the viewer receives a phone call in which a girl’s voice announces that the viewer will die in seven days. The film was a critical and commercial success.

Rachel Keller is a young journalist who’s recently heard about a mysteriously cursed videotape, that seemed to lead to her nieces death within 7 days of her watching it. Puzzled, confused, and saddened by her tragic and sudden death, she begins to do some further investigation on this horrific video which involves her visiting the “Shelter Mountain Inn”, the infamous place where her niece Katie and her friends first viewed this videotape. She herself watches the video, and sure enough the phone begins to ring…. “7 days”. So now the clock is ticking and the days are going by, and Rachel has only 7 days to unravel the mystery of “The Ring”. As many questions arise, and parts of this unraveled mystery begin to be revealed, there is only one question that remains…. will she make it in time, or will her 7 days be up before she can solve this puzzle?
