Reiko, 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...

the perfect horror movie if you're looking for something with substance, feeling, and suspense. if you're expecting cheap jump scares and gratuitous gore, this is not the film for you. but if you're in search of something with incredible storytelling, an antagonist you can sympathize with, and beautiful cinematography, look no further. this film ignited my passion for horror. sadako is a vengeful weirdo but shes MY vengeful weirdo
A classic, nothing more need be said.
One of the great J-horror flicks. Love the period technology: VHS tapes, land line phones, Polaroid instant cameras. It has a different vibe than Verbinski's Ring, more of a mystery than creepy ghost story.
Did anyone notice at the end of the movie when she went into the room there was a magazine with Mike Tyson on it Lol wonder did anyone see that
Idk why ppl don’t think this a scary movie it’s from 1998. Of course it’s not going to be updated scary movie. But in those times 10/10 super creepy and I really enjoyed it ❤️ Japanese scary movies never fails.
