Far less showy than even the restrained chills of The Blair Witch Project or The Sixth Sense, Ring has nevertheless become a mainstream blockbuster and has already been followed by Ring 2 and the prequel Ring 0. A Hollywood remake is in the works. Investigating the inexplicable, near-simultaneous deaths of her young niece and three teenage friends, reporter Asakawa (Nanako Matsushima) learns of a story about a supernaturally cursed video-tape circulating among school kids. As soon as anyone has watched the tape, allegedly recorded by mistake from a dead TV channel, the telephone rings and the viewer has exactly a week to live. Those doomed are invisibly marked, but their images are distorted if photographed. Inevitably, Asakawa gets hold of the tape and watches it. The enigmatic collage of images include a coy woman combing her hair in a mirror, an old newspaper headline about a volcanic eruption, a hooded figure ranting, people crawling and a rural well. When the phone rings (a memorably exaggerated effect), Asakawa is convinced that the curse is active and calls in her scientist ex-husband Ryuji (Hiroyuki Sanada) to help. He watches a copy of the video a day after Asakawa is exposed and willingly submits himself to the curse. Even more urgency is added to their quest when their young son is unwittingly duped, apparently by the mystery woman from the tape, into watching the video too, joining the queue for a supernatural death.On the DVD: For a film made in the digital era, the letterboxed (16:9) print is in mediocre state, with a noticeable amount of scratching, though the Dolby Digital soundtrack is superb, making this a film that's as scary to listen to as it is to watch (the squeamish might find themselves covering their ears rather than their eyes in some scenes). Otherwise, there are trailers for the first two Ring films and Audition, 10 stills, filmographies for the principals, a review by Mark Kermode, blurb-like extracts from other reviews and the ominous option of playing Sadako's video after a solemn disavowal of responsibility from the distributors! --Kim Newman ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000058CB6 | | Actors | Hitomi Satô, Miki Nakatani, Nanako Matsushima, Yôichi Numata, Yûko Takeuchi | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,853 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 532 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,844 in Horror (DVD & Blu-ray) 9,200 in Portable Sound & Video Products | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (477) | | Director | Hideo Nakata | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Manufacturer reference | 5023965332028 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 19.3 x 13.4 x 1.6 cm; 86 g | | Producers | Makoto Ishihara, Masato Hara, Shin'ya Kawai, Takashige Ichise, Takenori Sentô | | Release date | 19 Mar. 2001 | | Run time | 1 hour and 31 minutes | | Studio | Tartan | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Hiroshi Takahashi, Kôji Suzuki | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** Japanese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 31 minutes ## Images ![Ring (1998) [DVD] [2000] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XrvGJTA8L.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Ring (1998) [DVD] [2000] - The Grudge [DVD] - Dark Water [2003] [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/48899626-ring-1998-dvd-2000](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/48899626-ring-1998-dvd-2000) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
