Full reviewAmerican remake of Japanese videotape horror Ringu, starring Naomi Watts and directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean).
A mysterious videotape has been going around. Anyone who watches it dies in seven days.

To save her son as well as herself, Rachel must do what others have failed to do and escape the cycle.
