Ring Collection (Blu-ray) (3 disc) (Import)

In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introduced a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film's success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata's original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology.A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their face twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy unrban 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...Arrow Video is proud to present the genre-defining trilogy - Ring, the film that started it all, plus Hideo Nakata's chilling sequel Ring 2, and the haunting origin story, Ring 0 - as well as the 'lost' original sequel, George Iida's Spiral, gathered together in glorious high definition and supplemented by a wealth of archival and newly created bonus materials.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSBrand new 4K restoration of Ring from the original camera negative, approved by director of photography Junichiro HayashiHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationsLossless Japanese DTS-HD master audio 5.1 and PCM 2.0 soundtracksOptional English subtitlesBonus feature: Spiral, George Iida's 1998 sequel to RingNew audio commentary on Ring by film historian David KalatNew audio commentary on Ring 0 by author and critic Alexandra Heller-NicholasThe Ring Legacy, a series of new interviews from critics and filmmakers on their memories of the Ring series and ints enduring legacyA Vicious Circle, anew video interview with author and critic Kat Ellinger on the career of Hideo NakataCircumnavigating ring, a new video essay by critic Jasper Sharp on the J-horror phenomenonThe Psychology of Fear, a newly edited archival interview with author Koji SuzukiArchival behind-the-scenes featurette on Ring 0Ring 0 deleted scenesSadako's videoMultiple theatrical trailers for the Ring series
