	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The original and best: a genuinely scary movie (...) 'Ring' has indescribably disturbing moments that frightened me out of my wits (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It’s not so much the gore that interests Nakata as the reporter (Nanako Matsushima) digs into the case, it’s the subtle dread that keeps you up at night in a cold, clammy sweat (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

		David Jenkins Time Out	"Time has been very kind to Hideo Nakata’s sublime, quietly terrifying 1997 techno-horror (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Stuart Heritage The Guardian	"It's a masterpiece of execution. It's also – almost – a masterful demonstration of our reliance on technology."
