| Plot: |
In this remake of the 1998 Japanese thriller Ringu, which became one of the country's top-grossing movies of all time, Naomi Watts plays a Seattle newspaper reporter who learns that her 16-year-old niece is literally scared to death exactly one week after she and three friends — who also die — watch a mysterious videotape at a motel cabin in the woods. Watts' investigative nature kicks in, she watches the video (a short, surreal menagerie of nightmarish images), makes a copy, and is hell bent on discovering who or what is behind the tape. She enlists the help of her former lover, with whom she has a son, a precocious kid who appears to be psychic. |
