Ringu, released in 1998, is considered by many to be one of the most notable and influential horror films of the modern era, spawning multiple sequels and a somewhat dismal American remake. Praised for its atmosphere, tone, and unsettling imagery, Ringu, often referred to by many Western audiences simply as The Ring, has secured a legacy and prominent place in popular culture. The image of a girl with black hair draped over her face emerging from a television screen has become just as iconic to horror fans as Dracula, Jason Voorhees, or Michael Myers.
