Detailed Information

When her niece spontaneously dies of fright one week to the day after she watched a disturbing videotape full of nightmarish images and learning that she received a phone call foretelling of her death seven days before, sceptical journalist Rachel, played by Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive, King Kong) sets out to investigate.

Rachel tracks down the videotape and disastrously watches it, and to her horror discovers that her small son has also watched the videotape. On receiving the phone call foretelling her of her imminent death in seven days, Rachel sets out to solve the curse of the videotape and attempt to put it to rest in order to save her own life and that of her son.

This version of the film includes an additional 15 minute film which explains what happens to the tape at the end of the film and is the essential link between The Ring and The Ring 2.
